Hi!

So if you drop a basketball from a higher height, it has more time to gather more energy, which it then forces against the ground and causes the ball to bounce.

Hope this helps! Sorry I didn't really use any technical terms!

The basketball do not bounce back to the same height after each drop due to the fact of loss of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When the basketball or any ball is dropped off from a certain height it falls down under the influence of gravity with the kinetic energy which has been transferred to the ball with hand by dribble.

When the basketball hits the ground with the kinetic energy, it loses some of the energy to the ground and then with the action reaction pair with the ground, is bounced back but with lower energy to a lower height.

Two drums of the same size and same height are taken.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

i) The pressure acting on the base of B will be half the pressure acting on the base of A

ii) The pressure acting on the base of B will be the same as the pressure acting on the base of A

iii) The pressure on the base of drum A will be slightly less than the pressure on the base of drum B

Explanation:

The pressure acting on the base of the drum, P = h·ρ·g

Where;

h = The level of the liquid in the drum

$h_{max}$ = The height of the drums

ρ = The density of the liquid in the drum

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

i) If A is completely filled, we have $h_A$ = $h_{max}$

Therefore, $P_A$ = $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{liquid}$ ×g

If B is half filled, we have, $h_B$ = (1/2)· $h_{max}$

$P_B$ = (1/2) × $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{liquid}$ ×g

Therefore, $P_B$ = (1/2) × $P_A$

The pressure acting on the base of B will be half the pressure acting on the base of A

ii) If both A and B are each filled with water (the same liquid), then the pressure on their bases will be $P_A$ = $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{water}$ ×g = $P_B$ , the same, given that the acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant and the same in Nepal and India

iii) If A is filled with water, and B is filled with salty water, we have that, the density of salty water is slightly higher than water, therefore, we get;

$P_A$ = $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{water}$ ×g < $P_B$ =

The pressure on the base of drum A will be less than the pressure on the base of drum B.

The volume of the water in the graduated cylinder rose as some of the water was displaced by the table tennis ball. Find the vol

Leokris [45]

The approximate volume of table tennis ball is 80 cm³

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is defined as the amount of space occupied by the three dimensional object. S I unit of volume is m³ or cm³.

To find the volume of tennis ball using graduated cylinder.

Step 1 - Fill the graduated cylinder half or full.

Step 2 - Mark the initial volume of the water i.e. 100 cm³ (Vi)

Step 3 - Put the tennis ball in the graduated cylinder. Some of the water was displaced by the table tennis ball.

Step 4 - Mark the Final volume of the water (Vf) i.e. 180 cm³

Step 5 = Calculate the volume by using Formula

Vb = Vf – Vi = 180 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 80 cm³

Hence the volume of tennis ball (Vb) is 80 cm³

The mass of a golf ball is 45.9

Tema [17]

The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is:
λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], 
where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: 
λ = h/mv. 
Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): 
λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.
