Bouncy ball: A ball is dropped from a height of H meters. Under ideal conditions (vacuum), after each bounce it returns to 1/3 o

f its previous height. (i) To what height does the ball rise after it hits the floor for the n-th time? How long does it take to completely stop? (ii) Find the total vertical distance the ball travels before coming to rest.

Answer:

i) h = H \cdot 3^{-n}, ii) s = H\cdot (1 + 2\cdot \Sigma_{i = 1}^{n} 3^{-i})

Explanation:

i) After each bounce, two thirds of previous energy is lost by the ball. Then, the height observes a geometric progression which is described herein:

h = H\cdot \frac{1}{3^{n}}

h = H \cdot 3^{-n}

Where n is the number of bounces.

ii) The total vertical distance that ball travels before coming to rest is:

s = H + 2\cdot H \cdot \Sigma_{i = 1}^{n} \cdot 3^{-i}

s = H\cdot (1 + 2\cdot \Sigma_{i = 1}^{n} 3^{-i})

A negative charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which of the following statements must be tru
elena-s [515]

Answer:

C) No work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

An equipotential surface is defined as a surface connecting all the points at the same potential.

Therefore, when a charge moves along an equipotential surface, it moves between points at same potential.

The work done when moving a charge is given by

W=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge

\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final point of motion of the charge

However, the charge in this problem moves along an equipotential surface: this means that the potential does not change, so

\Delta V=0

And so, the work done is also zero.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.
