Lilly is playing catch with her younger brother. Her brother goes in to get a drink, leaving Lilly in the backyard. She tosses the ball straight up as hard as she can possibly throw. Which of the following correctly describes the forces acting on the ball after it has left Lilly’s hand?

A
The force from Lilly’s hand decreases as the ball goes up to its maximum height, then the force of gravity causes the ball to fall back to the ground.

B
The force from Lilly’s hand decreases as the force of gravity increases until the ball stops and begins to fall as the force of gravity increases until the ball hits the ground.

C
The only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity. Once the ball leaves Lilly’s hand, it rises to a peak height where the ball begins to fall back to the ground.

D
The only force acting on the ball after Lilly throws the ball up is the force from her hand. The ball rises to a peak height, then the gravitational force causes the ball to fall back to the ground.

Ahot-air balloon is drifting straight downward with a constant speed of 2.40 m/s. when the balloon is 7.63 m above the ground, the balloonist decides to drop one of the ballast sandbags to the ground below. how much time elapses before the sandbag hits the ground?

Need asap ! what is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? (2 points) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area remains constant. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases and decreases in an alternating pattern. 3. which of the following correctly describes a way in which earth's atmosphere interacts with the geosphere? (2 points) it contains gases that living organisms breathe. it contains gases that trap incoming solar radiation. it provides a medium for cycles that provide nutrients to living organisms. it provides a medium for water to move between earth's surface and the air. 4. which of the following is considered a drawback to using wind energy as a source of power? (2 points) wind energy is nonrenewable. wind energy produces large amounts of air pollution. 5. a meteorologist predicts that the weather in a region will soon change from clear skies to probable thunderstorms. prior to making this prediction, what did the meteorologist most likely observe on a barometer? (2 points) the barometer fell slightly. the barometer fell substantially. the barometer rose slightly. the barometer rose substantially. 6. which of the following do meteorologists not typically use weather balloons to record? (2 points) atmospheric pressure cloud types humidity temperature 7. during which step in the can crush lab did water vapor force air from the can? (2 points) the can was filled nearly to the top with water. the can was placed on the hot stove top burner for several minutes. the can was removed from the hot stove top burner. the can was placed upside-down in the water-filled pan.

Much of the information taught in earth-space science would not be available if it weren’t for our remote sensing abilities. explain two ways our remote sensing strategies contribute to our knowledge of these topics.
