Answer:

At highest point of the path the acceleration is perpendicular to velocity direction so there is no change in speed at this moment.

Explanation:

When an object is thrown at an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal with some initial speed

then we will have

v_i = v_ocos\theta \hat i + v_o sin\theta\hat j

now its acceleration due to gravity is given as

a = 0 - g\hat j

with the help of kinematics we can say that its velocity after any time "t" is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = v_ocos\theta \hat i + (v_o sin\theta - gt)\hat j

now when it will reach to its highest point then its velocity in y direction becomes zero

v_f = v_o cos\theta \hat i

now since final velocity is along x direction only at the highest point while its acceleration at that point is due to gravity so at that moment there is no change in speed.

First you need to know to gain or lose speed you must have acceleration of deacceleration in the direction of speed !!

so at highest point , the only acceleration is gravity and that is in the downward direction so , the velocity remains constant !!

MARKING BRAINLIST | Which situation below would have the STRONGEST gravitational force between them?
maks197457 [2]

Case d) has the strongest gravitational force

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

a) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 2 kg

r = 30 km = 30,000 m

So the gravitational force is

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(2)}{30000^2}=1.48\cdot 10^{-18}N

b) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 10 kg

r = 30 km = 30,000 m

So the gravitational force is

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(10)}{30000^2}=7.41\cdot 10^{-18}N

c) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 2 kg

r = 10 km = 10,000 m

So the gravitational force is

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(2)(2)}{10000^2}=1.33\cdot 10^{-17}N

d) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 10 kg

r = 10 km = 10,000 m

So the gravitational force is

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(10)}{10000^2}=6.67\cdot 10^{-17}N

Therefore, the  strongest gravitational force is in case d).

notka56 [123]

Answer:

She can consider using agricultural waste or dried dung.

Explanation:

No doubt, biomass has become a crucial source of energy to the society, with almost 90% of the households in rural area now relying on biomass for energy. Biomass has become a great option for household heating and cooking. It is locally available and abundant. It is a clean type of fuel, unlike fossil fuels and it somehow helps in cleaning our environment as it traps carbondioxide. Some common types of biomass include dried dung, agricultural waste, or even charcoal.
