Answer:

An applied force, drag force and gravitational force.

Explanation:

When Amy throws a softball through the air, there is some force that acts on it. The forces that are experienced by the ball in the air as follows :

The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences a drag from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of gravity.

The applied force is defined as the force applied by the person who is throwing the ball.

Drag is equivalent to the frictional force that is applied in the opposite direction.

The gravitational force always acts in downward direction.

An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.
Normal force is the component, perpendicular to the surface (surface being a plane) of contact.
The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences attractive force from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of the normal force.
Solution A.

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

nalin [4]

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

During the operation of fan we know that it is working on the electricity

So here when we connect the fan with electricity it uses the electrical energy and convert that energy into mechanical energy of fan

Fan uses this electrical energy to rotate the blades of fan and then it gives the high speed air to us

So here correct answer must be

motion energy

The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as:

laiz [17]

The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as PERIOD.

In fact, the period is defined as the time it takes a wave to make one complete oscillation: since the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave with same shape, it means that the time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point in space is exactly the period.
