The acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction is 9.8 m/s^2, downward.

Explanation:

This is a typical example of projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion at constant velocity (since there are no forces in the horizontal direction)

- A vertical accelerated motion at constant acceleration (due to the presence of the force of gravity)

We are considering now the vertical motion only. There is only one force acting on the ball in this direction: the force of gravity, of magnitude

F = mg

where m is the mass of the ball and g=9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration due to gravity, downward. This means that the acceleration of the ball in this direction is (using Newton's second law)

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{mg}{m}=g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction is 9.8 m/s^2, downward.

maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh

A What CE describes the way energy is stored in a sandwich​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
What is Potential Energy? You probably already know that without eating, your body becomes weak from lack of energy. Take a few bites of a turkey sandwich, and moments later, you feel much better. That's because food molecules contain potential energy, or stored energy, that can do work in the future. Hope it helps

Match each type of consequence with its resulting behavior change
ira [324]

Answer:

Janet stops parking in handicapped spaces after she gets a big parking ticket. - Positive Punishment

Peter’s recess is taken away to discourage him from getting into fights with the other children. - Negative Punishment

Ted increases paying his bills on time to avoid a late fee. - Negative Reinforcement

Sally increases the amount of work she completes to receive more pay. - Positive Reinforcement

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, the main principle is that behavior increases or decreases its frequency depending on whether it's reinforced or punished. A behavior can be reinforced by giving something the subject appreciates, like more pay for their work (positive reinforcement) or taking away something they dislike, like late fees (negative reinforcement). Punishments work the same way, you can give something the subject dislikes, like a parking ticket, (positive punishment) or taking away something they like recess for a child. (negative punishment).
