Answer:

Explanation:

I am sitting on a train car traveling horizontally at a constant speed of 50 m/s. I throw a ball straight up into the air. Before , the ball gets separated from my hand , both me the ball will be moving with velocity of 50 m /s in horizontal direction .

As soon as ball is separated from the hand , it acquires addition velocity in upward direction and acceleration in downward direction . This will give relative velocity to the ball with respect to me . So I will see the ball going in upward direction under  gravitational acceleration . It appears as if I am sitting at rest and ball is going in upward direction under deceleration . My motion at 50 m/s will have no effect on the motion of ball in upward direction , according to first law of Newton . It is so because ball too will be moving in forward direction with the same speed which will not be visible to me because I too am moving with the same speed.

If I  am  sitting at rest at home and I threw a ball straight up into the air , I will have the same experience of seeing ball going in similar way as described above.

A body from the top of a 180 m high mountain is abandoned. Disregarding air resistance and adopting g = 10m / s2, determine:
elena55 [62]

Answer:

1) 6 seconds

2) 60 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 180 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

1) Find t.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

180 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 6 s

2) Find v.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (180 m)

v = 60 m/s

during conversion water to ice,forces of attraction between molecules. OPTIONS:1.)Decreases 2.)Increases 3.)Does not change 4.)C
In-s [12.5K]

because water is loosely packed but when it is cold it becomes closely packed in order to form ice and thus the force attraction between them also increase.
