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.

Problem:
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Total energy is constant

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).

This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.

This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.

In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.

However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

The nucleus of most atoms is composed of which of the following sub-atomic particles? (A) tightly packed neutrons
solmaris [256]

Answer:

(B) tightly packed protons and neutrons

Explanation:

  • Nucleus of any atom is the dense central part of any atom.
  • It consists of two sub-atomic particle namely proton and neutron.
  • These sub-atomic parts are tightly packed in nucleus which makes the nucleus dense .
  • This dense nucleus is responsible for most of the mass of atom.
  • The atomic mass for any atom is decided by sum of  the mass of proton and neutron

Thus, correct answer is

(B) tightly packed protons and neutrons
