Answer: Option A; 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

When an object is in the air, and there is no air resistance acting on the object, the only force that will act on the object is the gravitational force (on the vertical axis).

Then, if the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

We know that the gravitational acceleration is equal to:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then the acceleration on the vertical axis will be equal to:

a(t) = 9.8m/s^2

The correct option is the first one:

A. 9.8 m/s^2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

Both trailer sway control, hill assist and hill descent controls are additional featires that enhance stability of electronics and their control systems. Majorly, these features track and reduce skidding in electronics, therfore, enhancing electronic system stability. During the process, these newly added features help to automatically apply brakes and direct the sytem where the controller wants to take it.

1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The spring force is given as:

F = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.

If a baseball pitch leaves the pitcher's hand horizontally at a velocity of 150 km/h by what percent will the pull of gravity ch

Slav-nsk [51]

<span>0.52% First, let's convert that speed into m/s. 150 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 41.667 m/s Now let's see how much time gravity has to work on the ball. Divide the distance by the speed. 18 m / 41.667 m/s = 0.431996544 s Now multiply that time by the gravitational acceleration to see what the vertical component to the ball's speed that gravity adds. 0.431996544 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.233566131 m/s Use the pythagorean theorem to get the new velocity of the ball. sqrt(41.667^2 + 4.234^2) = 41.882 m/s Finally, let's see what the difference is (41.882 - 41.667)/41.667 = 0.005159959 = 0.5159959% Rounding to 2 figures, gives 0.52%</span>
