Can someone please explain to me why the net force of the ball changes in the Y direction and not the X Direction? I made little

diagram of how I think it should look. It's not making any sense to me.

Whenever an object is in projectile motion, that is, it has 2-dimensional motion in the x and y axis, the resultant force on the object is in the y-direction.
This is because once the object has been projected, or the ball has been kicked in this case, there is no longer a force being applied on it in the x-direction. The air resistance is also neglected so the ball's final velocity in the x-direction is equal to its initial velocity in the x-direction.
However, the force of gravity cannot be neglected and causes the ball to come downwards. Therefore, after the ball has been projected, the net force on the ball is downwards, due to gravity.

The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.

The coefficient of static friction between a 3.00 kg crate and the 35.0o incline is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

So the minimum force is

32.2Newton

Explanation:

To solve for the minimum force, let us assume it to be F (N)

So

F=mgsinA

But

=>>>> coefficient of static friction x (F + mgcosA

=>3 x 9.8 x sin35 = 0.3 x (F + 3 x 9.8 x cos35)

So making F subject of formula

F + 24.0 = 56.2

F = 32.2N

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

A 2-kg box sits on a horizontal table. the force of friction between the box and the table is 10 n. the box is pushed to the rig
dangina [55]
By Newton's 2nd law of motion, F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Rearranging this equation to find acceleration would give us:
a = F/m

The horizontal force to the right is 10N, because the box is pushed to the right with a force of 20N, and the friction force of 10N opposes that, so:
20N - 10N = 10N

The mass is 2kg.

Putting these values into the equation gives us:
a = F/m
= 10/2
= 5ms^-2

The acceleration of the box is 5ms^-2
