What factors would change the force of friction?

A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 8m. After strikingthe floor, the ball bounces to a height of 5m. a. If the ball had bo

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a) This means the collision between the ball and the floor is elastic.

b) This points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision

c) Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Collision of bodies are analysed according to whether both momentum and kinetic energy of the system is conserved, that is, if these two quantities before collision are equal to their values after collision.

In all types of collisions, momentum is usually conserved, but kinetic energy is conserved only in an elastic collision.

A ball dropped from a height of 8 m bounces up back to a height of 5 m.

a. If the ball had bounced to a height of 8m, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

The ball not bouncing back to a height of 8 m shows energy loss at some point in the total motion of the ball (most likely at the collision). If kinetic energy was conserved, the ball would bounce back up to the height at which it fell from (8 m) after the collision with the floor.

b. If the ball had not bounced at all, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

If the ball had not bounced at all, this means it lost all of its kinetic energy to the floor, and this points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision.

c. What happened to the energy lost by the ball during thecollision?

The energy lost during the collision is converted to another form, most likely responsible for some deformation on the ball & a minute deformation on the floor, converted to some form of heat as a result of the collision or into sound energy, usually, it's a combination of all This!

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)

$\Delta x = 45 cm - 27 cm = 18 cm$

And the change in time:

$\Delta t= 3 s$

Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:

Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.

Thus, the speed is:

$speed= \Delta x/ \Delta t = 18cm/3s=6cm/s$

An the velocity is:

6cm/s in the negative direction

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 41m in front of you. Your reaction time

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer = 24.07 m/s

Explanation:

Let the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer be y.

Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50s.

Distance traveled during this time = 0.5y

A deer steps onto the road 41m in front of you

Remaining distance to deer = 41 - 0.5y

The maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s²

We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = y m/s

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = -10 m/s²

Displacement, s = 41 - 0.5y

Substituting,

v² = u² + 2as

0² = y² + 2 x -10 x (41 - 0.5y)

20(41 - 0.5y) = y²

820 - 10 y = y²

y² + 10 y -820 = 0

y = 24.07 m/s or y = -34.06 m/s(not possible)

Maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer = 24.07 m/s

The graph shows projected changes in the populations of the world.

malfutka [58]

Answer: C. Africa

Explanation:

The data given on the graph shows that:

Asia will grow from around 1,300 million to 5,000 million in 2050 which is an increase of:

= 5,000 /1,300 = 3.84 times

Europe will decrease over that period.

Africa will go from around 300 million to 2,000 million which is an increase of:

= 2,000 / 300

= 6.67 times

Mexico

, Central America, Caribbean Islands:

= 900 / 120

= 7.5 times

United States, Canada, and Greenland:

= 400/120

= 3.33

Oceania:

= 50 / 13

= 3.85

From the options give, Africa will see the greatest increase at 6.67 times its population in 1950.
