Steven is trying out for the position of pitcher on the baseball team. He can throw the baseball fast! The coach has clocked some of his pitches at 85 mph. Some of Steven's friends decided to play a joke on him and replaced one of the baseballs with one that they tampered with. Instead of a mass of 145 grams, the boys added a lead weight so the mass is now 200 grams. Steven winds up and throws.
All of the statements describe the possible results of this scenario except one. Which statement is an inaccurate explanation?

Since force equals mass times acceleration, Steven’s throwing force must increase to throw the ball 85 mph.
Since force equals mass times acceleration, Steven’s throwing force must increase to throw the ball 85 mph.
If Steven’s throwing force is constant and the ball’s mass increases, the rate of acceleration will be less.
If Steven’s throwing force is constant and the ball’s mass increases, the rate of acceleration will be less.
Steven must throw the new ball with more force in order for it to achieve the same speed as previous throws.

The difference in the mass is not significant and will not affect the force needed to throw the ball 85 mph.

The statement "If Steven’s throwing force is constant and the ball’s mass increases, the rate of acceleration will be less" is an inaccurate explanation. According to Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, if the force remains constant and the mass increases, the acceleration will actually decrease.

It is not possible to determine whether the example represents balanced or unbalanced forces without being able to see the pictures that are being referred to.

I apologize for the confusion, but as an AI language model, I am unable to directly see pictures. Therefore, I cannot determine whether the examples represent balanced or unbalanced forces without visual information. Please provide a verbal description or additional context so I can assist you further.

Matt and Jaime have the same speed but different velocities. Speed refers to the rate of motion, which in this case is 1.25 miles per hour for both Matt and Jaime. However, velocity also takes into account the direction of motion, and since Matt is moving east and Jaime is moving south, their velocities are different.
A roller coaster begins at the top of a hill. If it accelerates at the rate of 2 m/s and has a mass of 2000 kg, what net force is acting on it? (Force=mass x acceleration)(1 point)

The net force acting on the roller coaster can be calculated using the formula Force = mass x acceleration. Substituting the given values, the net force is:
Force = 2000 kg x 2 m/s^2 = 4000 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.
Force = 2000 kg x 2 m/s^2 = 4000 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.
