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.

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?
leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water                 ---> 1</span>

 

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

 

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m        (ANSWER)</span>

Isotopes of an element differ in their number of ?
Lera25 [3.4K]

neutrons

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element differ in their number of neutrons.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the  number of neutrons in their nucleus.

  • Isotopes of an element have the same electronic configuration.
  • They have the same chemical properties but differ in their masses.
  • The mass of an atom is function of the protons and neutrons.
