Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

In the given problem, a basketball rolls to a stop along a gym floor without anyone touching it.

The basketball stops own its own because of the force of friction. Friction is a force which opposes the motion of the object. The direction of the force of friction is in an opposite direction to the motion of the object.

The frictional force will act between the basket ball and the floor.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:  We have seasons because Earth's axis – the imaginary line that goes through the Earth and around which the Earth spins — is tilted. It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space. Our northern axis points almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star.

An aircraft has a liftoff speed of 33 m/s. What is the minimum constant acceleration an
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: The minimum acceleration for the air plane is 2.269m/s2.

Explanation: To solve such problem the equation of motion are applicable.

The initial velocity is 0 since the airplane was initially standing. We are going to use this equation

V^2=U^2+2as

33^2=0+2a (240)

a= 2.269m/s2
