Answer:

The answer is 0.8 m

Explanation:

According the attached diagram, if we take the momentum in the point 0:

\frac{m_{D}*5.1 }{2} =m_{J} *X

Where

mD = mass of Diane = 64.2 kg

mJ = mass of Jack = 93.6 kg

Replacing:

X=\frac{\frac{64.2*5.1}{2} }{93.6} =1.75m

\frac{L}{2} -X=Y=\frac{5.1}{2} -1.75\\Y=0.8m

When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball ____________.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: "B" Changing Position

Great Question!

Explanation: <u><em>When a ball bounces to the ground it hits the ground with some energy. The amount of energy with which it hits the ground is kinetic energy. When it comes in the contact with the ground kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. This potential energy again gets converted into kinetic energy and balls moves again from the ground and bounces multiple times. So, the ball ends up changing position</em></u>
