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.

Two boxes of masses 3M and 5M are attached by a massless rope. They are being pulled to the right with a constant force of P = 8

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a) about 14.577 kg

b) 300 N

Explanation:

b) In order for the acceleration to be the same for each mass, the 800 N force must be divided between the boxes in proportion to their mass. That is, the net force on the 5M mass must be 5/8 of the total force, or 500 N. Then the tension in the rope is 800 N -500 N = 300 N, which is 3/8 of 800 N.

Tension: 300 N

a) The total mass is 8M, and the total normal force on the floor is ...

F = ma = (8M)(9.8 m/s^2)

The friction force is 0.7 times this, and is equal to the 800 N force pulling on the boxes.

800 N = (8M)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.7)

M = 800/(8·9.8·0.7) kg ≈ 14.577 kg

Plzzz answer this correctly

viva [34]

Answer:

D, the acceleration of A is twice that of b.

Explanation: in four seconds b got to ten, in two seconds a got to 20. Going 10m/s faster in half the time is going twice the acceleration

Electrons are continuously being knocked out of air molecules by cosmic ray particles from space. Once the electrons are free, t

nata0808 [166]

(a) $1.25\cdot 10^{-14} J$

The change in potential energy of the electron is given by:

$\Delta U=q E d$

where

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the electron's charge

$E=150 N/C$ is the magnitude of the electric field

d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(150 N/C)(520 m)=1.25\cdot 10^{-14} J$

(b) 78 kV

The potential difference the electron has moved through is given by

$\Delta V=Ed$

where

$E=150 N/C$ is the magnitude of the electric field

d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\Delta V=Ed=(150 N/C)(520 m)=78,000 V=78 kV$

A snowstorm was predicted in Chicago. Identify the possible upper air temperature, surface temperature, and air pressure of Chic

OverLord2011 [107]

The correct answer for this question is this one:

A snowstorm was predicted in Chicago. The possible upper air temperature, surface temperature, and air pressure of Chicago on that day. Normal atmospheric pressure is 29.9 inches of mercury. I'm pretty sure the answer is 40 for upper air, 29 for surface temp, and 30 for air pressure. Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
