Identical balls are dropped from the same initial height and bounce back to half the initial height. In Case 1, the ball bounces

off a cement floor, and in Case 2, the ball bounces off a piece of stretchy rubber.

a. Case 1
b. Case 2
c. Same in both

2. In which case is the average force acting on the ball during the collision the biggest?

a. Case 1
b. Case 2
c. Same in both

Answer:

<em>1. c. Same in both</em>

<em>2. a. Case 1</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

1. The balls are identical in all sense, which means that if they are dropped from the same height, they should posses the same kinetic energy just before they collide with either the concrete floor or the stretchy rubber. Also, since they reach the same height when they bounced of the concrete floor or the piece of stretchy rubber, it means that they posses the same amount of kinetic energy at this point. Since their kinetic energy at these two points are the same, and they have the same masses, then this means that their momenta at these two instances will also be equal. Since all these is true, then the change in the momentum of the balls between the instance just before hitting the concrete floor or the stretchy rubber material and the instant the ball just leave the floor or the stretchy material is the same for both.

2. The ball that falls on the concrete will experience the greatest force, since the time of impact is small, when compared to the time spent by the other ball in contact with the stretchy rubber material; which will stretch, thereby extending the time spent in contact between them.

Yes thats correct....becuase all of your weight is concentrated on a small area compared to the larger surface area of your feet!
is that what your question was?

A car has a force of 2000N and a mass of 1000kg. What is the acceleration
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

2m/s/s

Explanation:

The formula goes- F=MA

F-Force M-Mass & A-Acceleration

We need to rearrange this formula to find the acceleration-

A=F/M

All we need to do now is substitute the values in

A=2000N/1000kg

A=2m/s^2

In the given option the last option (2m/s/s) would be the ans, as it's the same as 2m/s^2

So ya, I guess that's all

21. A toy car starts from rest and begins to
Bond [772]

Answer:

v = 66 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a car, u = 0

Acceleration of the car, a = 11 m/s²

We need to find the final velocity of the toy after 6 seconds.

Let v is the final velocity. It can be calculated using first equation of motion. It is given by :

v = u +at

v = 0 + 11 m/s² × 6 s

v = 66 m/s

So, the final velocity of the car is 66 m/s.
