The reaction force to Earth's gravity in this situation is the Earth pulling on the diver with a force of 911 N.

When the ball is thrown up, it experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity pulling it downwards. After 3.0 seconds, the ball will have reached its highest point and started to fall back down. At this point, its velocity will be equal to the initial velocity (15 m/s) minus the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2) multiplied by the time (3.0 seconds). Therefore, the velocity after 3.0 seconds will be 15 m/s - (9.8 m/s^2 * 3.0 s) = 15 m/s - 29.4 m/s = -14.4 m/s. Since the velocity is negative, it indicates that the ball is moving downwards, hence the answer is 14 m/s down.

Distance is not a vector because it only represents the magnitude or size of the displacement between two points. It does not have a specific direction associated with it. On the other hand, velocity, displacement, and acceleration are all vector quantities because they have both magnitude and direction.

The magnitude of the acceleration produced by a net force can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = m*a). In this case, the net force is given as 4500 N and the mass of the automobile is given as 900 kg. By rearranging the equation, we can solve for acceleration: a = F/m. Plugging in the values, we get a = 4500 N / 900 kg = 5.0 m/s^2. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.0 m/s^2.

Temperature can be described as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. This means that temperature is a measure of how fast the molecules in a substance are moving. When the molecules have higher kinetic energy, the temperature is higher, and when the molecules have lower kinetic energy, the temperature is lower. This definition helps us understand the concept of temperature and how it relates to the motion of molecules in a substance.

To maintain an object in motion at a constant velocity does not require the application of a net force. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, if the object is already moving at a constant velocity, there is no need for a net force to be applied.

When the book is held at rest in the palm of the hand, the reaction to the force of the hand on the book is a force of 10 N exerted by the book on the hand. This is due to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the force exerted by the book on the hand is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the hand on the book.

If the drag force is greater than the applied force, it means that the resistance to motion caused by the drag force is stronger than the force pushing the automobile forward. As a result, the automobile will experience a deceleration and slow down.

The voltage difference across a resistance can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R). In this case, the current is given as 2.5 A and the resistance is 18 Ohms. Therefore, the voltage difference across this resistance can be calculated as 2.5 A * 18 Ohms = 45 V.

While the baseball is in the air, the only force acting on it is gravity, which causes a constant acceleration downwards. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and velocity is constantly changing due to the acceleration of gravity, the correct answer is acceleration. The displacement, position, and velocity of the baseball will all change over time while it is in the air.

When a ball is projected upward, it will reach its maximum height when its velocity becomes zero. This occurs at the highest point of its trajectory. The time it takes for the ball to reach this point is determined by the initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the initial velocity is 5 m/s, and since the ball is projected upward, the acceleration due to gravity acts against it. Therefore, it will take less time for the ball to reach its maximum height compared to if it was projected downward. The correct answer of 0.5 s indicates the approximate time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height.

The nucleus of an atom is made of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons, on the other hand, are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. Therefore, the correct answer is protons and neutrons, as they are the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom.

The correct answer is centripetal acceleration. This is because in order for the ball to move in a horizontal circle, there must be a force acting towards the center of the circle, which is known as the centripetal force. According to Newton's second law of motion, when there is a net force acting on an object, it will experience acceleration. In this case, the centripetal acceleration is responsible for keeping the ball moving in its circular path. The other options are not correct because they do not explain the specific force or acceleration acting on the ball in this scenario.

Infrared rays have the lowest frequency of oscillation among the given options. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of various types of waves, each with a different frequency and wavelength. Infrared rays have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet rays, visible rays, gamma rays, and x rays. This means that they have a slower rate of oscillation and are less energetic. Infrared rays are commonly associated with heat and are used in thermal imaging and communication technologies.

Frequency is the wave property that distinguishes between different colors. Frequency refers to the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a given time period. In the context of light, different colors have different frequencies. For example, red light has a lower frequency than blue light. Therefore, by measuring the frequency of a wave, we can determine the color of light.

The lower string breaks because of the inertia of the ball. When the bowler jerks downward on the lower string, the ball resists the change in its state of motion due to its inertia. This causes a sudden downward force on the lower string, which can exceed its breaking point and cause it to break. The upper string, on the other hand, does not experience the same sudden force and therefore does not break.

A sound wave is not a transverse wave because it is a longitudinal wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. However, in a sound wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the disturbance in a sound wave travels in a compressional and rarefactional pattern, rather than in an up-and-down motion like in a transverse wave.

When the distance between two spherical charged objects is decreased by a factor of two, the electrical force between them increases. This is because the electrical force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. When the distance is halved, the denominator of the equation becomes one-fourth of its original value, resulting in a fourfold increase in the force. Therefore, the electrical force between the objects increases by a factor of 4.
