Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?
Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.
Describe contact force and noncontact force that affect the motion of a baseball a pitcher has thrown the ball?
The contact force will keep the ball moving but as the ball goes farther the ball slows down that's were the non contact force comes in it makes the ball not in contact
A 4kg object is moving across a friction free surface with a constant velocity of 2ms. Which one What horizontal forces is necessary to maintain this motion Explain using Newton's law?
Zero! From Newton's first law, every object continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless a resultant force acts on it to change its state. Thus, if it is required that the object continues in its state of uniform motion in a straight line, no net force is required.
What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile as its position changes?
In the usual simple treatment of projectile motion, the horizontal component of the projectile's velocity is assumed to be constant, and is equal to the magnitude of the initial (launch) velocity multiplied by the cosine of the elevation angle at the time of launch.
Sir Isaac Newton is famous for the 3 laws of what?
Isaac Newton is famous for his 3 Laws of Motion.
How does science have to do with baseball?
projectile motion (vertical and horizontal motion) when the pitcher throws the ball and when the batter hits it.plus friction when people slip. and air resistance, and force of the ball, and action-reaction forces
Why does grass have high friction?
Grass is rough, it stood tall from ground against the motion moving in horizontal plane. What that act against the motion is friction.
Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?
Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical motion?
Our jumping is a vertical motion, while walking is a horizontal motion. Exercises are done by both horizontal and vertical motion.
What is horizontal motion vertical motion?
Horizontal motion is motion that moves back and forth and vertical motion moves up and down.
How is the motion in the vertical direction affected by motion in the horizontal direction?
the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are independent of each other
Why horizontal motion is constant?
Horizontal motion is only constant when it is not being affected by any forces, e.g. the horizontal motion of a projectile after it's shot.
What are horizontal motion and vertical motion?
horizontal is side to side vertical is up and down
What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?
The type of motion that describes the horizontal component of a projectile is horizontal projectile motion. It is influenced by the downward force of gravity.
What is the motion parallel to the ground?
horizontal motion
Does a straight horizontal line indicate uniform motion?
no, a straight horizontal line doesn't indicates uniform motion
What will the motion of the plane be if it is flying in a horizontal line?
linear motion
