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.

A horizontal pipe of inner diameter 2.2 cm carries water with a density of 1000.0 kg/m3 flowing at a rate of 1.5 kg/s. If the pi

EleoNora [17]

The speed of the water in the wider part will be 1.194 m/sec. Speed is a time-based quantity. Its SI unit is m/sec.

<h3> What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained.

The given data in the problem is;

The initial diameter is, $\rm d_1 = 2.2 \ cm$

initial radius,

$r_1 = \frac{d_1}{2} \\\\ r_1 = \frac{2.2}{2} \\\\ r_1 = 1.1\ cm$

The initial crossection area;

$\rm A_1 = \pi r_1^2 \\\\ \rm A_1 = 3.14 \times (1.1\times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\ \rm A_1 =3.8 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$

The final crossection area;

$\rm A_2 = \pi r_2^2 \\\\ \rm A_2 = 3.14 \times ( 2 \times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\ \rm A_2 = 12.56 \ m^2$

The initial flow rate is;

R = density ×velocity ×area

$\rm R = \rho A V \\\\ 1.5 = 1000 \times V_1 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-4} \\\\ V_1 = 3.947 \ m/sec$

The speed of the water in the wider part will be;

From the continuity equation;

$\rm A_1 V_1 = A_2V_2 \\\\\ 3.8 \times 10^{-4} \times 3.947 = 12.56 \times 10^{-4} \times V_2 \\\\ V_2= 1.194 \ m/sec$

Hence, the speed of the water in the wider part will be 1.194 m/sec.

Which color is in the middle of the light spectrum?

Elanso [62]

Well, with the light spectrum there technically is no middle color. Both green and yellow meet up in the middle at 560 nm (wavelength interval) and 540 THz (frequency interval).

How can groundwater flow, elevation can transport contaminates

Pavel [41]

Answer: it's under explanation

Explanation:Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.
