Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path?

Physics

It is due to the plurality of forces enacted on them. For example a bullet, if fired from a firearm, will move forward due to force from the gun, will slow down due to drag from air resistance, and will move downwards due to gravitational force. All these forces culminate in a parabolic (curved) path.

inessss [21]

Answer:  weight on Jupiter = 869.75 N

              mass  on Earth = mass on Jupiter = 35.5 Kg

Explanation:

W = mg

W = weight

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration [ on the Earth, g₁ = 9,8 N/kg ]

On the Earth,

G₁ = m x g₁  = 347,9 N

On the Jupiter,

G₂ = mg₂  

mass on the Earth = mass on the Jupiter !  

m = G₁ : g = 347.9 N : 9,8 N/kg = 35.5 kg

G2 : G1 = 2.5

G₂ = 2,5 G₁ = 2,5 x 347.9 N =  869,75 N

3. A sprinter leaves the starting blocks with an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2. What is the
UkoKoshka [18]

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{v_{f} = 18 m/s}

Use the following kinematic equation to solve for the final velocity:

v_{f} = v_{i} + at

In this instance, the runner started from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. We can rewrite the equation as:

v_{f} = at

Plug in the given acceleration and time:

v_{f} = 4.5 * 4 = 18 m/s
