Which statement explains whether or not a person should use an experiment of a ball rolling down a hill as evidence that the for

ce of gravity pulls objects straight down?(1 point) They should use it. Any experiment on Earth involving natural motion will provide direct evidence that gravity pulls objects straight down. They should use it. Any experiment on Earth involving natural motion will provide direct evidence that gravity pulls objects straight down. They should not use it. The experiment has several dimensions of motion, including one parallel to the ground, so the motion of the ball does not directly test the force of gravity. They should not use it.

The ball raised up the hill is given gravitational potential energy, which

causes it to roll spontaneously down the hill.

The statement that explains whether the ball rolling down the hill

experiment should be used is; <u>The experiment shows the ball falls toward </u>

<u>the bottom of the hill, so it provides direct evidence that gravity pulls an </u>

<u>object downward. They should use it.</u>

Reason:

The equation for the velocity of a ball falling down a hill is v = \sqrt{\dfrac{10}{7} \cdot g \cdot h}

Therefore, by increasing the height from which the ball rolls down the hill,

the velocity of the ball increases, which indicates that the ball is

accelerating, and therefore, being acted on by a force, the force of gravity.

Therefore;

Given that the ball falls or moves with increasing speed towards

the bottom of the hill, which shows that the motion is due to Earth's pull

known as the gravitational force, the experiment should be used.

Suppose a baseball pitcher throws the ball to his catcher.
amm1812

a) Same

b) Same

c) Same

d) Throw the ball takes longer

e) F is larger when the ball is catched

Explanation:

a)

The change in speed of an object is given by:

\Delta v = |v-u|

where

u is the initial velocity of the object

v is the final velocity of the object

The change in speed is basically the magnitude of the change in velocity (because velocity is a vector, while speed is a scalar, so it has no direction).

In this problem:

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the initial velocity is

u = 0 (because the ball starts from rest)

while the final velocity is v, so the change in speed is

\Delta v=|v-0|=|v|

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the initial velocity is now

u = v

while the final velocity is now zero (ball coming to rest), so the change in speed is

\Delta v =|0-v|=|-v|

Which means that the two situations have same change in speed.

b)

The change in momentum of an object is given by

\Delta p = m \Delta v

where

m is the mass of the object

\Delta v is the change in velocity

If we want to compare only the magnitude of the change in momentum of the object, then it is given by

|\Delta p|=m|\Delta v|

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the change in momentum is

\Delta p = m|\Delta v|=m|v|=mv

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the change in momentum is

\Delta p = m\Delta v = m|-v|=mv

So, the magnitude of the change in momentum is the same (but the direction is opposite)

c)

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

I=\Delta p

where

I is the impulse

\Delta p is the change in momentum

As we saw in part b), the change in momentum of the ball in the two situations is the same, therefore the impulse exerted on the ball will also be the same, in magnitude.

However, the direction will be opposite, as the change in momentum has opposite direction in the two situations.

d)

To compare the time of impact in the two situations, we have to look closer into them.

- When the ball is thrown, the hand "moves together" with the ball, from back to ahead in order to give it the necessary push. We can verify therefore that the time is longer in this case.

- When the ball is cacthed, the hand remains more or less "at rest", it  doesn't move much, so the collision lasts much less than the previous situation.

Therefore, we can say that the time of impact is longer when the ball is thrown, compared to when it is catched.

e)

The impulse exerted on an object can also be rewritten as the product between the force applied on the object and the time of impact:

I=F\Delta t

where

I is the impulse

F is the force applied

\Delta t is the time of impact

This can be rewritten as

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}

In this problem, in the two situations,

- I (the impulse) is the same in both situations

- \Delta t when the ball is thrown is larger than when it is catched

Therefore, since F is inversely proportional to \Delta t, this means that the force is larger when the ball is catched.

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students? Each stud
Bond [772]

Lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is a Transverse wave?</h3>
  • The wave in which the oscillation of particles is is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

  • The students can make a transverse wave by raising their hands up and then down, one student at a time.

  • The raised hand represents the oscillation of particles while the sequence of the raising hand represents the direction of energy transfer.

Therefore, lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students.

The Sun has a mass of 1.99x10^30 kg and a radius of 6.96x10^8 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity, in meters per second
just olya [345]

Answer:

g=274\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of the Sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

The radius of the Sun, r=6.96\times 10^8\ m

We need to find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun. It is given by the formula as follows :

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\\g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}{(6.96\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274\ m/s^2

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity on the Sun is 274\ m/s^2.

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

B

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.
