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?

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.

a uniform rod of length 1.5m is placed over a wedge at 0.5m from one end .a force of 100 N is applied at its one end near the we
andreev551 [17]

Explanation:

The rod is uniform, so the center of gravity is at the center, or 0.75 m from the end.  The wedge is 0.5 m from the end, so the center is 0.25 m from the wedge.

Sum the torques about the wedge (it may help to draw a diagram first).  Take counterclockwise to be positive.

∑τ = Iα

W (0.25 m) − (100 N) (0.50 m) = 0

W = 200 N

Sum the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

F − 100 N − 200 N = 0

F = 300 N

Which descriptions apply to Mendels pea plant experiments ? Select three options
const2013 [10]

used cross breeding to purposely breed plan

studied a variety of pea plant traits

studied several generations of plants

In order to breed or cross one plant with another, Mendel opened the petals and removed the anthers from the flower and dusted the pistil with pollen from the plant he wished to cross it with and covered the flower with a small bag to prevent the pollen in the air from landing in the pistil. This process is called cross pollination.

Mendel considered 7 characters of pea plant for his study and did the study for several generations.
