You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. (a) what fraction of its initial energy is los

t during the bounce? (b) what is the ball's speed just as it leaves the ground after the bounce? (c) where did the energy go?

a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi<span>
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf 

The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100 

and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with just E=hi/hf 
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the energy or 0.25 in fraction 

b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd 

<span>where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the initial velocity while d is the distance travelled

so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that variable 
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so vf is 0 

therefore,</span></span>

vi =sqrt(-2gd) <span>
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) </span>
<span>vi =5.4 m/s

<span>c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the air and the ground.</span></span>

Orginize it
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).

Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.

Describe . what fills soil pores

Hydraulic conductivity (K) is a property of soil<span> that describes the ease with which water can move through </span>pore<span> spaces. It depends on the permeability of the material (</span>pores, compaction) and on the degree of saturation. Saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ksat<span>, describes water movement through saturated media.</span><span />

I need help with questions 4 and 5 because my teacher is not good with explaining them to a better understanding (Geometry)
Helga [31]
Hello! I can help you with this! 

4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.

5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

If you need more help on proportions and using proportions in real life situations, feel free to search on the internet to find more information about how you solve them.

According to Galileo, this quantity is not needed to keep a body in motion under ideal conditions.
Sergio [31]
This condition is called Galileo's Law of Inertia which states that all bodies accelerate at the smart rate , no matter what are their masses or size. Inertia is that tendency of matter to resist changes in its velocity.  <span>Isaac Newton's first law of motion captures the concept of inertia. </span>
