Answer: Hi there your answer would be

A negative change in entropy indicates that the disorder of an isolated system has decreased. For example, the reaction by which liquid water freezes into ice represents an isolated decrease in entropy because liquid particles are more disordered than solid particles.

A ball is dropped from a height of 1.20 m and hits the floor. The ball compresses and then reforms to spring upwards from the fl

diamong [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{98 m$\cdot$s}^{-2}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the velocity of the ball is

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

1. Velocity at time of impact

$v = -\sqrt{2 \times 9.807 \times 1.20} = -\sqrt{23.54} = -\textbf{4.85 m/s}$

2. Velocity on rebound

The ball has enough upward velocity to reach a height of 0.86 m.

$v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.807 \times 0.86} = \sqrt{16.87} =\textbf{4.11 m/s}$

3. Acceleration

$a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{4.11 - (-4.85)}{ 0.091} = \dfrac{8.96 }{0.091} =\textbf{98 m$\cdot$s}^{\mathbf{-2}}\\\\\text{The acceleration while the ball is in contact with the floor is $\large \boxed{\textbf{98 m$\cdot$s}^{\mathbf{-2}}}$}$
