Answer:
A force
Explanation:
A push or a pull is an example of a force and can cause an object to speed up, slow down, etc.. Newton's laws tell us that 1- an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it 2- the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. 3- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.. However, forces like gravity and friction can resist movement.
Answer:

Explanation:
<u>Dimensional Analysis</u>
It's given the relation between quantities A, B, and C as follows:

and the dimensions of each variable is:



Substituting the dimensions into the relation (the coefficient is not important in dimension analysis):

Operating:


Equating the exponents:


Adding both equations:

Solving:


Answer:

<em>Anything</em> that's dropped through air is somewhat affected by air resistance. But, out of that list, the leaf and the balloon are the items that will be affected by air resistance enough so that you can plainly see it.
If you spend some time thinking about it, you can kind of understand why airplane wings and boat propellers are shaped more like leafs and balloons than like bricks and rocks.
Answer:
Approximately
, assuming that the acceleration of this ball is constant during the descent.
Explanation:
Assume that the acceleration of this ball,
, is constant during the entire descent.
Let
denote the displacement of this ball and let
denote the duration of the descent. The SUVAT equation
would apply.
Rearrange this equation to find an expression for the acceleration,
, of this ball:
.
Note that
and
in this question. Thus:
.
Let
denote the mass of this ball. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, if the acceleration of this ball is
, the net external force on this ball would be
.
Since
and
, the net external force on this ball would be:
.
