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.

Answer: 75V

Explanation:

Given that,

total resistance (Rtotal) = 150Ω

Current (I) = 0.5A

Change in electric potential (V) = ?

Recall that potential difference is the product of amount of current and the amount of resistance in the circuit. And its unit is volts.

So, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

V = 0.5A x 150Ω

V = 75V

Thus, the change in electric potential across the circuit is 75 Volts

Why are some forces considered to be noncontact forces? A. Objects must be far apart in order to exert a force. B. Objects do no

kompoz [17]

Answer:

B. Objects do not have to touch each other to experience a force.

Explanation:

For example ..One of the noncontact forces is magnetic force whereby a magnetic object will be attracted to another magnetic object of oppsite charged particles, through waves called electromagnetic waves. On the other hand, the two magnetic objects of similar charged particles can repel through electromagnetic waves..

If a nucleus was as big as a nonpareil, an atom would be ____

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

small marble

Explanation:

A nonpareil are confectionery tiny ball items that are made up of starch and sugar. It is very small of the size of sugar crystal or sand grains. They were the miniature version of the comfits. They are generally opaque white but bow available in all colors.

In the context, if the nucleus is compared to the size of a nonpareil then its atom would be of the size of small size marble. An atom is bigger in size than that of nucleus as the nucleus is located inside the atoms.
