From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The init
Talja [164]

Answer:

\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.

Explain how gravity and inertia interact to cause the Earth to revolve around the Sun.
eduard

Answer:

The gravity of the sun and the planets works together with the inertia to create the orbits and keep them consistent. The gravity pulls the sun and the planets together, while keeping them apart. The inertia provides the tendency to maintain speed and keep moving. The planets want to keep moving in a straight line because of the physics of inertia. However, the gravitational pull wants to change the motion to pull the planets into the core of the sun. Together, this creates a rounded orbit as a form of compromise between the two forces.

Explanation:

Hope this answer helps you....

Why does light change its velocity (or slows down) when it encounters a glass lens?​
Rufina [12.5K]

Explanation:

what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction. It is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.

What is the exact meaning of croos section and cross sectional area of a conductor?
Sonbull [250]
The cross section is the little tiny circle you see when you cut a wire
and look at the flat, cut end.

The cross-sectional area of the wire is the area of that little circle. 
It's equal to

                           Area = (pi) x (1/4) x (Diameter of the wire)²
