A ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. Each time it drops h feet, it rebounds 0.81h feet. Find the total distance traveled

by the ball.

The first drop makes the ball travel 16 m.
Then the maximum height decreases to 16 x 0.81
And the distance traveled is twice the distance traveled.
If we make a pattern, this forms a geometric progression in which the common ratio is 0.81 and the first term is 16.
The sum of this series: a / (1 - r)
= 16 ( 1 - 0.81)
= 84 feet
This is the upward height, and the ball returns every time so:
Total distance = 84 x 2
= 168 feet

Show that rigid body rotation near the Galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant
irakobra [83]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to gravitational acceleration and centripetal acceleration. The equality between these two forces that maintains the balance will allow to determine how the rigid body is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density. Let's start with the gravitational acceleration of the Star, which is

a_g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

Here

M = \text{Mass inside the Orbit of the star}

R = \text{Orbital radius}

G = \text{Universal Gravitational Constant}

Mass inside the orbit in terms of Volume and Density is

M =V \rho

Where,

V = Volume

\rho =Density

Now considering the volume of the star as a Sphere we have

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3

Replacing at the previous equation we have,

M = (\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho

Now replacing the mass at the gravitational acceleration formula we have that

a_g = \frac{G}{R^2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho

a_g = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho

For a rotating star, the centripetal acceleration is caused by this gravitational acceleration.  So centripetal acceleration of the star is

a_c = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho

At the same time the general expression for the centripetal acceleration is

a_c = \frac{\Theta^2}{R}

Where \Theta is the orbital velocity

Using this expression in the left hand side of the equation we have that

\frac{\Theta^2}{R} = \frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2

\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2)^{1/2}

\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho)^{1/2}R

Considering the constant values we have that

\Theta = \text{Constant} \times R

\Theta \propto R

As the orbital velocity is proportional to the orbital radius, it shows the rigid body rotation of stars near the galactic center.

So the rigid-body rotation near the galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density

Sam is playing football. She kicks the ball with an average force of 75 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

22.5J

Explanation:

Here the force is given. Also, the displacement is given as 30cm.

First we should check if all the values are in their standard form.

Here 30cm should be converted to metre by dividing it with 100.

Which would give us 0.3m

Now we use the equation W=force x displacement =75 x 0.3=22.5J

I hope this satisfies you. If u have any further questions please let me know.

I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

Janelle wants to buy some strings of decorative lights for her home. She is trying to decide between two strings of lights that
inysia [295]
If she has a choice and the wiring details are stated on the packaging,
then Janelle should look for lights that are wired in parallel within the
string, and she should avoid lights that are wired in series within the string. 

If a single light in a parallel string fails, then only that one goes out. 
The rest of the lights in the string continue to shimmer and glimmer.

If a single light in a series string fails, then ALL of the lights in that string
go out, and it's a substantial engineering challenge to determine which light
actually failed.
