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.

What is the net force on a car moving in a straight line with a constant velocity
guapka [62]

Answer:

For example, when a car travels at a constant speed, the driving force from the engine is balanced by resistive forces such as air resistance and friction in the car's moving parts. The resultant force on the car is zero.

Two carts undergo an inelastic collision where they stick together. Cart A has an initial velocity v0, and the second cart B is
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of the system = 1/2 mA v0²

If Vf be the final velocity of both the carts

applying conservation of momentum

final velocity

Vf = mAvo / ( mA +mB)

kinetic energy ( final ) =  1/2 (mA +mB)mA²vo² /  ( mA +mB)²

= mA²vo²  / 2( mA +mB)

Given 1/2 mA v0²  / mA²vo²  / 2( mA +mB) = 6

mA v0² x ( mA +mB) / mA²vo² = 6

( mA +mB) / mA = 6

mA + mB = 6 mA

5 mA = mB

mB / mA = 5 .

How much mass energy could be obtained from the complete conversion of a 235 g hamburger?
Radda [10]
E = mc²
E = 0.235 kg · (3×10⁸ m/s)² = 0.235 · 9×10¹⁶  kg·m/s²
E = 2.115×10¹⁶ J
The answer is d) 2.12×10¹⁶ J
