Ignoring Air Resistance, on earth near the earths surface gravity applies a force on all bodies.

The acceleration the ball will experience is -9.8 meters per second per second (i.e. it will slow the ball down. When the ball then falls to the ground from the apogee of the throw it will continue to accelerate at 9.8 meters per second per second per second and will hit the ground at the same speed it left the ground originally.

So each second it will slow by 9.8 meters per second.

9.8 meters per second, (or 32.2 feet per second), if the experiment is carried out on or near the surface of the earth.

1.6 meters (5.25 feet) per second, if it's on or near the surface of the moon.

3.52 meters (11.5 feet) per second, if it's on or near the surface of Mars.

The speed of a ball thrown straight up decreases by approximately 9.8 m/s each second due to the acceleration of gravity acting in the opposite direction of the initial velocity.

If the larger fish has a mass of 5 kg and swims 1 meter per second toward a 1 kg fish what is the velocity of the larger fish immediately after lunch you will neglect the effects of water resistance?

By conservation of momentum, the total momentum before the lunch equals the total momentum after the lunch. Initially, the total momentum is 5 kg * 1 m/s = 5 kgยทm/s, as the smaller fish is initially at rest. After the lunch, since momentum is conserved, the larger fish will have a velocity of 0.2 m/s (5 kgยทm/s / (5 kg + 1 kg)).

A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100 meters per second. What will be the baseball's speed when it hits the ground?

I assume you hit it up from the ground level as well. From Conservation of Energy, it immediately follows that: * If there is no air resistance, when it hits the ground it will, once again, have a speed of 100 meters per second. * Since under usual circumstances there WILL BE air resistance, its speed will be less than 100 meters per second.


What happens to the distance you fall during each second?

If you fall from a very considerable height then initially the distance that you fall will increase with each second that you fall. However, air resistance increases markedly with speed and this causes your acceleration to decrease so that you reach a maximum speed (terminal velocity)

What can cause the direction of an object moving in a straight line to change?

The direction of an object moving in a straight line can change due to the application of a force in a different direction, such as friction or a second object interacting with it. Additionally, external factors like gravitational pull or air resistance can also influence the direction of the object.

The second postulate of kinetic theory states that particles move in random straight lines at various velocities and in all directions what is the effect of increasing the temperature of the system?

Decreasing the temperature of the system will decrease the average velocities of the particles, but will not change their pattern of movement.
