The effect of gravity on a falling object can be modeled by a ball dropped from different heights. What is a limitation of this model? A. Not all objects bounce, even though balls do.

B. Some balls float in water, while others sink.

C. The ball can be dropped from varying heights.

D. Friction with air also affects the fall of the object.

Correct answer is D

Which of the choices below is one of the primary gases found in the atmosphere? a. helium b. carbon dioxide c. nitrogen d. argon

Automobile fuel efficiency is often measured in miles that the car can be driven per gallon of fuel (mpg). heavier cars tend to have lower fuel efficiencies (lower mpg ratings). which variable (weight or fuel efficiency) is most naturally considered the explanatory (predictor) variable in this context?

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
