The two forces acting on the baseball as it is thrown and then curves toward the ground are gravity and friction. Gravity pulls the ball downward, while friction can occur between the ball and the air as it moves, affecting its trajectory.

Two people are in a rowboat on a river. The current of the river water carries them at a speed of five meters per second even when they are not rowing. What will happen to the boat's motion of no other forces act on the boat?(1 point)
Responses

The boat's speed will increase

The boat's speed will decrease.

The boat's speed will stay the same.

The boat will change direction.

If no other forces act on the boat, the boat's speed will stay the same. The current of the river carries the boat at a constant speed of five meters per second, and without any additional forces, it will maintain that speed.

Thanks

Inertia is (1 point)

a force that acts on a resting object.

an object's motion.

a moving object's speed and direction

the resistance of an object to change its motion.

Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its motion. It is a property of matter that describes how much an object resists changes to its state of motion, whether it's at rest or moving.

Thank you those are right

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that. If you have any more questions or need help with anything else, feel free to ask!
