Explain how the following experiment shows the direction that gravity pulls an object, specifically showing that it does not pul

l an object parallel to the ground.
A rubber ball is dropped from the top of a ladder. It bounces on the same spot several times, each time to a lesser height than the previous bounce, before coming to rest in place.

Answer:

Firstly you need to know what is gravity?

Explanation:

The size of the gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the objects and weakens as the distance between them increases. Both objects exert an equal attractive force on each other: a falling object is attracting the Earth with the same size force as the Earth is attracting it.

Now you need to know why a rubber bounce?

When a rubber ball hits something, it absorbs energy and releases energy really fast, Zheng said. ... When it hits something, it stops, and the kinetic energy is stored inside the ball as internal energy. Then it can quickly convert the internal energy back into kinetic energy which allows the ball to bounce back

Now you want  to know why does a rubber bounce lower each time?

The rubber slows down, deforms temporarily and shoots back up. The air in the ball acts like a spring—it gets compressed and expands again. During the collision, some of the rubber's's energy is converted into heat. As a consequence, the ball shoots up with less energy than it had when it reached Earth.

F. give some examples of how it might be useful to know the melting or boiling points of a substance. think in terms of both sci
Delvig [45]
Hello!

To know the melting or boiling points of substances is extremely important:

-In a Scientific Setting, it would help identify and separate unknown substances, as the melting or boiling points are unique for each compound, and their determination is useful for identifying and separating them. 

-In an Industrial Setting, it would help engineers to know the storage temperatures of compounds. Some compounds if stored at temperatures above their boiling points will evaporate and when stored at temperatures under their melting points will solidify. In some cases this behavior is undesired and knowledge of boiling and melting points is important. 

Have a nice day!

When heat is added to a substance describe how the molecules are affected brainly?
NARA [144]
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
