To catch a fast-moving ball, you extend your hand forward before contact with the ball and let it ride backward in the direction

of the ball's motion. Doing this reduces the force of contact on your hand principally because the Group of answer choices force of contact is reduced relative velocity is less time of contact is increased time of contact is decreased none of these

Answer:

C: time of contact is increased

Explanation:

When a ball is falling from height, it maintains the same mass but velocity may change depending on the conditions in that environment.

Now, to catch the ball on your palm, you need to find a way to reduce the momentum of the ball upon hitting your hand.

Now, to reduce the momentum, we need to apply impulse.

This is because we know that;

Impulse(I) = F × t = change in momentum (m(v - u))

Thus;

I = Ft

F = I/t

We are told that extending the hand reduces the force of contact on your hand.

Thus;

For F which is the force to be reduced, the denominator (t) has to be increased.

Thus, the correct answer is that time of contact is increased

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

Describe The energy conversions that occur when coal is formed, and then burned to produce thermal energy.
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

When energy contained in coal is turned into heat, and then into electrical energy. As boiling water heated by the burning coal is cooled, steam forges from these cone-shaped cooling towers.

8. If horizontal velocity is 5 m/s, and vertical velocity is 8 m/s, what is the
zhenek [66]

Answer:

9.4

Explanation:

magnitude is the sum of the squares.

\sqrt{5^2+8^2} =9.4339\\

If you are given horizontal and vertical components, treat those as the rise and run of a triangle, the rise of 8 with a run of 5 and you want to find the hypotenuse.

How do you find the long side of a triangle?

Gardeners understand that plants have specific pH requirements. Most plants thrive in soil with a pH that is slightly acidic, ne
Delvig [45]

Answer:

D) Add a base like limestone or calcium carbonate.

Explanation:

-To reduce the soil's pH, you need to add an alkaline or base solution.

-Calcium carbonate has an alkanizing property and forms a carbonic acid and calcium hydroxide when dissolved in water.

-The solution will reduces the soil's pH.

Which resultant force is NOT possible if 50 N force and a 60 N force act concurrently?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Suppose the case where the forces act in opposite directions, then we need to subtract the forces, and we know that the magnitude of the resultant force will be:

60N - 50N = 10N

Now, suppose the case where both forces act in the exact same direction, in that case, we will add the forces to get:

60N + 50N = 110N

Then the only range of forces that we can get in this system, are the forces such:

10N ≤ F ≤ 110N

Any resultant force outside that range is not possible in this situation.
