Answer:

(D) friction from the ground changes the ball's

kinetic energy into heat

Explanation:

When a ball is roll on the ground, the electrons in the atoms on the surface of the ground push against the electrons in the atoms on the surface of your ball that is touching the ground. A rolling ball stops because the surface on which it rolls resists its motion,that is when two surfaces come in contact with each other, the surface of one tends to oppose the motion of the other. A rolling ball stops because of friction.

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000

34kurt

Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

The gnaphosid spider Drassodes cupreus has evolved a pair of lensless eyes for detecting polarized light. Each eye is sensitive

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part A

The intensity is $I = 618 W/m^2$

Part B

The intensity is $I_1= 81.884 W/m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The intensity of the light detected by first eye is $I = 700 W/m^2$

Now at initial state according the question the light ray is perpendicular to the eye so it means that it is at 90° the eye

Now the first question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first in this case is the one focused on the light )would detect when the head is rotated by 20° its previous orientation

This is mathematically evaluated as

$I = I_i cos^2 ( 20^o)$

$I = 700\ cos^2 (20)$

$I = 618 W/m^2$

Now the second question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first eye in this case is the one that is not focused on the light )would detect when the head is rotated by 20° its previous orientation

Now in this case the angle between the eye and the light is 90-20 = 70°

$I_1 = 700 \ cos^2 (70)$

$I_1= 81.884 W/m^2$
