What else can I help you with?
A bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?
After leaving the rifle, the bullet only has the force of gravity acting on it vertically downwards. In the horizontal direction, there are no horizontal forces acting on the bullet unless there is air resistance or any other external force present.
Why does a projectile maintain its horizontal component of velocity?
Because there's no horizontal force acting on it that would change its horizontal component of velocity. (In practice, that's not completely true, since the frictional 'force' of air resistance acts in any direction. But outside of air resistance, there's nothing else acting horizontally on the projectile.)
Name the 2 forces acting on a launching pad immediately after leaving a rocket?
force due to gravity acts vertically down wards and force of push acting upward
Why does a ball that is thrown horizontally stayin the same path?
A ball that is thrown horizontally will stay in the same path because there are no horizontal forces acting on it to change its motion. In the absence of air resistance and other external forces, the ball will continue moving at a constant horizontal speed due to its inertia.
Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?
Yes, a force acting perpendicular to a horizontal force on a body can cancel out the horizontal force if the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This is known as the equilibrium condition, where the net force acting on the body is zero.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would what?
The ball would continue straight without any gravitational forces acting on it, and without air resistance. If you consider air resistance, then the spin of the ball may give it a curved path, and eventually the ball would stop traveling as the air resistance slows down the ball.
What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?
Ignoring air resistance, both a leaf and a feather will hit the ground at the same time when dropped simultaneously, regardless of their weight. This is due to the gravitational acceleration acting equally on both objects.
How can the horizontal velocity of a projectile be described?
The horizontal velocity of a projectile remains constant if there is no air resistance or external forces acting horizontally. This means that the horizontal component of the projectile's velocity does not change throughout its trajectory, only its vertical component is affected by gravity.
Is it true an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object thrown horizontally from the same height?
No, both objects will hit the ground at the same time if there is no air resistance acting on them. This is known as the principle of equivalence, which states that in the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or how they are initially given velocity.
What forces are acting when you are riding and then thrown from your bike?
The forces acting on the bike is gravity, air resistance and friction.
Is it normal if your boyfriend hasn't called you in a week or is he just ignoring you and does he not care much anymore?
If your boyfriend is ignoring you, then ignore him back..show him that you don't care, and you can have fun without him..guys hate that..once you start acting like you don't care, then he will realize he will loose you if he don't start acting right...
What two things does the amount of air resistance acting on an object depend on?
The amount of air resistance acting on an object depends on its speed (faster speeds result in greater air resistance) and its surface area (larger surface area increases air resistance).
