You drop a 14-g ball from a height of 1.5 m and it only bounces back to a height of 0.85 m. what was the total impulse on the ba
Allisa [31]
<span>Remember that  impulse = change in momentum 

this means we compute the momentum of the ball just before impression and just after; we know the mass, so we find the speeds 

the ball falls for 1.5m and will achieve a speed given by energy conservation: 

1/2 mv^2 = mgh => v=sqrt[2gh]=5.42m/s 

since it rises only to 0.85 m, we compute the initial speed after power from the same equation and get 
v(after)=sqrt[2*9.81m/s/s*0.85m] = 4.0837 m... 

now, recall that momentum is a vector, so that the momentum down has one sign and the momentum up has a positive sign, so we have 

impulse = delta (mv) = m delta v = 0.014 kx (4.08m/s - (-5.42m/s) = 0.133 kgm/s </span>

Answer:about 200,000 years ago that humans existed on earth.

Explanation:Geologic time refers to the planet's changing geology. The earliest fossils of modern humans are from the middle Paleolithic about 200,000 years ago such as the omo remains from Ethiopia and the fossil of herto classified equally as homosapiens equally from Ethiopia.
