Explain why there is no acceleration horizontally on an object in Projectile Motion. A. There is no acceleration horizontally be

cause velocity is constant in the x- direction. B. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity increases in the x- direction. C. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity decreases in the x-direction . D. There is no acceleration vertically because velocity is constant in the y -direction .

Answer:

Option  A is correct.

Explanation:

The force of gravity does not affect the horizontal component in projectile motion; a projectile maintains a constant horizontal velocity. So there is no acceleration ( a=0 ) in horizontal direction as velocity remains constant.

A 0.15 kg project hits the ground with a speed of 11 m/s. The project comes to rest in 0.015 seconds. What is the net force?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

ACCORDING TO NEWTONS SECOND LAW;

F = mass * acceleration

F = m(v-u/t)

m is the mass = 0.15kg

v is the final velocity = 11m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

t is the time = 0.015

Substitute;

F = 0.15(11-0)/0.015

F = 0.15(11)/0.015

F = 1.65/0.015

F = 110N

Hence the net force is 110N

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

If opposing forces acting on an object are equal, the net force is
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

suppose, you push a box with 5 N, and another person pushes the box on the opposite side of the box with 5 N, the net force (resultant ) is 0 N, the box will not move if it wasn't moving

hope this helps
