Friction slows things down because the tiny rough bumps on all surfaces hook on each other and slow down the object and produce heat

Friction slows things down because the force that is created through the interaction between two objects begins to decrease the acceleration and velocity of the object. Therefore, the object begins to slow down.

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. Use the vertical motio
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

Describe how the coriolis effect acts differently based on location on earth
sammy [17]

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect happens when an entity is perceived from a moving reference frame going in a straight path. The changing reference frame makes the object appear as if it were moving along a curved road.

Circulation is counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Circulation is clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and it is the equator, it is straight down without circulation.

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element
Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North
