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.
1. In which case is the change in momentum of the ball between the instant just before the ball collides with the floor or rubber and the instant just after the ball leaves the floor or rubber the biggest?

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.

"a 10 kg rock is pushed off the edge of a bridge 50 meters above the ground. what was the kinetic energy of the rock at the midw
valentinak56 [21]
Let's call h the initial height of the rock (h=50 m, the height of the bridge).

Initially, the rock has only gravitational potential energy, which is given by
U_i=mgh
where m=10 kg is the mass of the rock while g is the gravitational acceleration. So, the total mechanical energy of the rock at this point is
E_i = U_i = mgh=(10 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(50 m)=4905 J

At midway point of its fall, its height is \frac{h}{2}, so its potential energy is
U_f = mg \frac{h}{2} = (10 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(25 m)=2452.5 J
But now the rock is also moving by speed v, so it also has kinetic energy:
K_f =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
So the total energy at the midway point of the fall is
E_f = U_f + K_f (1)

The mechanical energy must be conserved, so E_i = E_f, so we can rewrite (1) and solve it to find the kinetic energy of the rock at midway point of its fall:
E_i = U_f + K_f
K_f = E_i - U_f = 4905 J - 2452.5 J=2452.5 J

A rectangular tank that is 4 feet long, 2 feet wide and 15 feet deep is filled with a heavy liquid that weighs 60 pounds per cub
V125BC [204]

Answer:

a) W₁ = 54000 Lb-ft

b) W₂ = 77760 Lb-ft

c)  W₃ = 24000 Lb-ft

W₄ = 40560 Lb-ft

Step by step

W= ∫₁² ydF         1  and  2 are the levels of liquid

Where dF is the differential of weight of a thin layer

y is the height of the differential layer and

ρ*V  = F

Then

dF = ρ* A*dy*g

ρ*g  =  60 lb/ft³

A= Area of the base then

Area of the base is:

A(b) = 4*2  =  8 ft²

Now we have the liquid weighs  60 lb/ft³

Then the work is:

a)

   W₁ = ∫₀¹⁵ 8*60*y*dy     ⇒   W₁ =480* ∫₀¹⁵ y*dy

W₁ =480* y² /2 |₀¹⁵      ⇒  480/2 [ (15)² - 0 ]

W₁ = 240*225

W₁ = 54000 Lb-ft

b) The same expression, but in this case we have to pump 3 feet higher, then:

W₂ = ∫₀¹⁸ 480*y*dy     ⇒ 480*∫₀¹⁸ydy    ⇒ 480* y²/2 |₀¹⁸

W₂ =  480/2 * (18)²

W₂ =  240*324

W₂ = 77760 Lb-ft

c) To pump two-thirds f the liquid we have

2/3* 15  =  10

W₃ = 480*∫₀¹⁰ y*dy   ⇒  W₃ = 480* y²/2 |₀¹⁰

W₃ = 240*(10)²

W₃ = 24000 Lb-ft

d)

W₄ =480*∫₀¹³ y*dy

W₄ =480* y²/2 |₀¹³

W₄ = 240*(13)²

W₄ = 240*169

W₄ = 40560 Lb-ft

Two positive charges of 6.0 x 10^-6 C are separated by 0.50 m. Calculate the force of electrical attraction
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Force between two charges is given as 1.296 N

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges will attract or repel each other when they are placed near to each other

Here we know that electrostatic force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

here we have

q_1 = q_2 = 6 \times 10^{-6} C

distance between two charges is given as

r = 0.50 m

so we have

F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(6 \times 10^{-6})^2}{0.50^2}

F = 1.296 N
