You want to close an open door by throwing either a 400-g lump of clay or a 400-g rubber ball toward it. you can throw either ob

ject with the same speed, but they are different in that the rubber ball bounces off the door while the clay just sticks to the door. which projectile will apply the larger impulse to the door and be more likely to close it and why?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let m =  the mass (g) of the door.
Let v =  the launch velocity
Let u =  the velocity of the door after impact.

Elastic impact (rubber ball):
The rubber ball bounces off the door with presumably elastic impact, which means that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
Conservation of momentum requires that
400v = -400v + mu
Therefore
u=( \frac{800}{m} )v

Inelastic impact (clay):
The clay sticks to the door after impact.
Conservation of momentum requires that
400g = (m+400)u
Therefore
u=( \frac{400}{m+400} )v

When we compare magnitudes of u for the door, we find that
u_{1}=( \frac{400}{m} )(2v), \,\, elastic \\\\ u_{2}=( \frac{400}{m+400} )v , \,\, inelastic
Clearly, the elastic impact creates a greater value of u for the door.

Answer:
The rubber ball creates a larger impulse to the door because the nature of its impact is approximately elastic.

What two bodily functions are increased by a warm up
drek231 [11]

1) Blood flow: increases during warming improving muscle and joint elasticity. This decreases the possibility of having an injury.


2) Body temperature: This causes the cellular metabolism to increase. It also causes vasodilatation that allows a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients.

To make a given sound seem twice as loud, how should a musician change the intensity of the sound?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

C. Quadruple the intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of the sound is proportional to square of amplitude of the sound.

I ∝ A²

\frac{I_1}{A_1^2} = \frac{I_2}{A_2^2}\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2}

When the given sound is twice loud as the initial value, then the new amplitude is twice the former.

A₂ = 2A₁

I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1(2A_1)^2}{A_1^2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{4I_1A_1^2}{A_1^2}\\\\ I_2 = 4I_1

Thus, to make a given sound seem twice as loud, the musician should Quadruple the intensity

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!
