4 0

Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

What force must a rocket overcome to reach space
Nat2105 [25]
Hello! Gravity is lost when you reach the outside of the Earth's orbit! So you would have to overcome gravity in order to officially be in space. Gravity is the first thing a rocket must overcome to reach space.

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,

A runner taking part in the 200-m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the runner is 2.48 m/s²

Explanation:

Given :

Distance covered by runner, d = 200 m

Time taken by runner to complete 200 m , t = 23.2 s

Radius of the circular arc, r = 30 m

Consider v be the constant speed of the runner.

The constant speed is determine by the relation:

v=\frac{d}{t}

v=\frac{200}{23.2}

v = 8.62 m/s

Consider a_{c} be the centripetal acceleration.

The relation to determine centripetal acceleration is:

a_{c}=\frac{v^{2} }{r}

a_{c}=\frac{(8.62)^{2} }{39}

a_{c}=2.48 \ m/s^{2}
