A ball of mass m is dropped from rest from a height h and collides elastically with the floor, rebounding to its original height

.
What is the magnitude of the average force applied by the floor on the ball during the time the ball is in contact with the floor?

(A) Zero
(B) mg
(C) 2mg
(D) 4mg
(E) It cannot be determined without knowing the length of time that the ball is in contact with the floor.

Answer:

option (E)

Explanation:

mass = m

height = h

initial velocity u = 0

The average force applied by the floor on the ball is the rate of change of momentum of the ball.

So, we need the time of contact of ball and floor, so it is not given in the question.

Thus, option (E)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass m collides elastically with floor and jump to its original height I .e.velocity of rebound is same as the initial velocity

Impulse imparted by steel ball to the ground is given by the change in momentum of steel ball

J=\Delta P

and impulse is product of average force and time

so we need time to calculate the average force. So, option e is correct

Calculate the force on an object that has a mass of 12kg and an acceleration of 4m/s2.
iVinArrow [24]
<span>By Newton's second law of motion, we know that the resultant force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and directly proportional to its acceleration. In system international (SI) units, the value of the constant of proportionality constant is 1. Therefore, the equation for Newton's second law of motion becomes: F = ma, where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the object. Substituting the values of m and a into this formula, we get the result: F = 12 x 4 = 48. The SI unit for force is the Newton; therefore, <u>the answer is 48 Newtons.</u></span>

liraira [26]
I believe the answer would be mass. Low mass stars and medium mass stars often become white dwarfs when they die while high mass stars explode in violent explosions called supernovas and usually leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.

Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called _____.
ololo11 [35]

Answer;

-Tsunami

Explanation;

-Tsunami  is a series of large ocean waves (or "wave train") of extremely long wavelength and period, usually generated when a gigantic body of water, such as an ocean, is suddenly displaced on a massive scale by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake occurring on or near the sea floor or a volcanic eruption.

-After a sudden displacement of a large water volume by seismic activity (earthquake), the ocean floor is raised or dropped and large tsunami waves can be formed by gravitational forces.
