Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.

A 0.140-kg baseball is dropped from rest from a height of 1.8 m above the ground. It rebounds to a height of 1.4 m. What change

aliina [53]

Answer:

$\Delta p=-1.56\ kg-m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.14 kg

It is dropped form a height of 1.8 m above the ground. Let u is the velocity when it hits the ground. Using the conservation of energy as :

$u=\sqrt{2gh}$

h = 1.8 m

$u=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.8}$

u = 5.93 m/s

Let v is the speed of the ball when it rebounds. Again using the conservation of energy to find it :

$v=\sqrt{2gh'}$

h' = 1.4 m

$v=-\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.4}$

v = -5.23 m/s

The change in the momentum of the ball is given by :

$\Delta p=m(v-u)$

$\Delta p=0.14(-5.23-5.93)$

$\Delta p=-1.56\ kg-m/s$

So, the change in the ball's momentum occurs when the ball hits the ground is 1.56 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What effect does mass have on a rollercoaster ride?<br>

patriot [66]

Answer:

The more mass a body has the more inertia it has. If the roller coaster is moving, it will want to keep moving, along the direction of motion, unless something causes it to speed up or slow down. This resistance of the moving roller coaster to changing its velocity is another example of its inertia.
