Krista is playing tennis at the park. When the tennis ball flies toward her, Krista hits the ball with her racket, which causes
xenn [34]

Answer:

B. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the tennis ball applies an equal but opposite force to the racket.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's third law of motion every action has equal and opposite reaction. So, when the force is applied by the racket on the ball then the ball also applies an equal intensity of force in the opposite direction on the racket. It is just that the the force on the racket is absorbed by the player holding it.

A moving rope (parallel to the slope) is used to pull skiers up the mountain. If the slope of the hill is 37" and friction is ne
Charra [1.4K]

Since rope is parallel to the inclined plane so here we can say that net force parallel to the person which is pulling upwards must counterbalance the component of weight of the person.

Now here we will do the components of the weight of the person

given that weight of the person = 500 N

now its components are

W_x = 500 cos37

W_y = 500 sin37

now here as we can say that one of the component is balanced here by the normal force perpendicular to plane

while the other component of the weight is balanced by the force applied on the rope

So here the force applied on the rope will be given as

F = W_y = 500 sin37

F = 300 N

so it apply 300 N force along the inclined plane

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears?
inessss [21]

Answer:

I think it's C!

Explanation:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Hope this helps!
