While working out, you decide it would be funny to throw a 7.0 kg medicine ball at your friend, who is not expecting it. At the time you throw the ball towards your friend, who has a mass of 55 kg, they are walking towards you (in the opposite direction of the ball) at 0.5 m/s. If you threw the ball at 10 m/s and they reacted quickly enough to catch it, what is the combined final velocity of your friend and the ball?

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

a. carbon monoxide from car exhaust

b.particulate matter, such as soot

c.water vapor from a factory smokestack

d.acid rain

these are the answer choices im on that question right now
