Answer:

C Friction and air resistance

Explanation:

The force of friction acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of an object in contact with a surface. The amount of friction is proportional to the moving object's weight and a coefficient of friction (which is dependent on the object-surface contact material).

Air resistance, similar to surface-induced friction, acts as a deceleration force. Its magnitude depends on the object's speed and surface area.

A bus is moving forward at 20 m/s. A student on the bus throws a tenis ball horizontally at
seraphim [82]

Answer:

D: 35 m/s

Explanation:

The bus is moving at a speed of 20 m/s.

Thus; v_bus = 20 m/s

Tennis ball thrown horizontally towards the front of the bus is given as 15 m/s.. Thus, v_ball = 15 m/s

No, due to the fact that the bus and the ball are moving at the same time, an observer will think the speed is the sum of that of the ball and the bus.

Thus, it will appear to an observer on the sidewalk that the speed is; v_bus + v_ball = 20 + 15 = 35 m/s

Briefly explain how a star produces its own heat and light.
salantis [7]

Stars give out heat and light due to continuous fusion and fission reaction of hydrogen and helium in it. These reactions release a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat and light. helium atoms. During this process, huge amount of energy is released in the form of heat and light.
