A ball collides with a vertical, unmovable wall. There is no friction between the wall and the ball (the only force acting on th

e ball during the collision is the normal force from the wall). ball colliding with wall 1) What is the direction of the x-component of the impulse imparted to the ball during the collision?

Answer: the same direction I.e to the left.

Explanation:

The component perpendicular to the contact surface is such that will stop the relative motion and, in case of elastic collision like here, return the system to the same kinetic energy. So ball hitting immovable surface will have the same speed (magnitude of velocity) as before the collision.

There will also be parallel force caused by friction, but it has to be treated separately for two reasons:

The perpendicular force is limited to coefficient of friction times the normal force. If that is not enough to stop the ball, it will skid on the surface.The perpendicular force, and this depends on the specific geometry, does not pass through the centre of mass of the ball. Therefore it imparts a moment on the ball that causes it to start rotating. And once the ball is rotating so that the point of contact is stationary, there is no momentum to cause any friction force anymore and the friction force disappears and stops decelerating the ball.

So what happens is that the vertical component of the velocity will be reversed, while the horizontal component will be somewhat reduced with the corresponding amount of kinetic energy transferred to energy of rotation. The rotation will always eliminate the friction force before the horizontal component of velocity is zeroed, so the ball will always continue in the same direction, just a bit slower.

If you instead threw an elastic box (which could not start rotating freely) it could actually bounce back.

Some people say you can tell if someone has HIV by looking at him or her. True or false? Why?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:False.

Explanation: HIV is a viruse that only shows symptoms after a few weeks. in Fact HIV does not show any physical symptoms. So, no you can not tell if someone has or is been infected by HIV by directly looking at them.

Have a Nice Day!!! =)

A pebble is thrown into the air with a velocity of 19/m at an angle of 36 with respect to the horizontal.
kow [346]

Answer:

The maximum height the pebble reaches is approximately;

A. 6.4 m

Explanation:

The question is with regards to projectile motion of an object

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the pebble, u = 19 m/s

The angle the projectile path of the pebble makes with the horizontal, θ = 36°

The maximum height of a projectile, h_{max}, is given by the following equation;

h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (u \times sin(\theta) \right)^2}{2 \cdot g}

Therefore, substituting the known values for the pebble, we have;

h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (19 \times sin(36 ^{\circ}) \right)^2}{2 \times 9.8} = 6.3633894140470403035477570509439

Therefore, the maximum height of the pebble projectile, h_{max} ≈ 6.4 m.
