Aball of mass 0.7 kg flies through the air at low speed, so that air resistance is negligible. (a) what is the net force acting on the ball while it is in motionwhich components of the ball's momentum will be changed by this force? what happens to the x component of the ball's momentum during its flight? what happens to the y component of the ball's momentum during its flight? it decreases. what happens to the z component of the ball's momentum during its flight?

A) Gravitational Force, .

B) The y component of momentum.

C) The x component of momentum will remain the same.

D)The y component of momentum decreases.

E)The z component of momentum will remain constant.

Explanation:

First, let the x-axis be positive in the same direction as the horizontal speed of the ball, let the y-axis be positive in the opposite direction of gravity.

A) since there is no air resistance, the only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force. This force is downwards so it is negative. The net force is

.

B)Because the net force (and the only one) is on the y-axis, only the vertical component of the momentum will be changed due to the force.

C)Since there is no resistance of air, the ball behaves as in projectile motion problems, this means that the x component of the velocity remains constant, also does the mass. Remembering that momentum is velocity times mass, it can be easily seen that x component of momentum remains constant too.

D)The y component of momentum decreases, this is because gravity decreases the y component of the velocity.

E)Since there is no z component of the force there is no change in the z component of the momentum.

d) the number of neutrons plus the number of protons

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
