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.

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.

Answer:

The value is $y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is $d_p = 4.2 \ mm = 4.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance of the page from the eye $d = 29 \ cm = 0.29 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 500 \ nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index is $n_r = 1.36$

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d$

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * 500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29$

$y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$
