During a baseball game, a hitter strikes the ball with a bat. When this happens, the ball and the bat exert a force on each other. Why does the ball accelerate away from the bat more than the bat accelerates away from the ball?
The ball has greater velocity before the collision, so the force affects the ball more than it affects the bat.
The bat exerts more force than the ball because the batter is exerting a force on the bat as it hits the ball.
The ball has less mass, so the equal force on the ball and the bat causes greater acceleration of the ball.
A person is staying in the middle of a boxcar on a train moving 100km per hour (see image). If the motion of the boxcar remains constant, where in the boxcar will the person most likely land after he jumps straight up?
Which term is an example of force?
Energy
Mass
Weight
Work
Horizontal forces act on two boxes, initially at rest, as shown. The magnitude and direction of the horizontal forces are also shown. What happens to Box X and Box Y as a result of the forces?
Box X starts moving, speeding up, and Box Y remains at rest.
Box X starts moving at constant speed, and Box Y remains at rest.
Box X starts moving at constant speed, and Box Y starts moving, speeding up.
Box X starts moving, speeding up, and Box Y starts moving at a constant speed.
A battery-powered toy submarine is moving through water at constant speed and at a constant depth below the surface. The diagram shows the submarine with arrows representing the directions but not the magnitudes of four forces acting on it. Which conclusion can be made about the magnitudes of the forces acting on the submarine?
Force Q is equal to Force S and Force R is equal to Force T.
Force Q is less than Force S and Force R is equal to Force T.
Force Q is equal to Force S and Force R is greater than Force T.
Force Q is less than Force S and Force R is greater than Force T.
