Explain why a basketball doesn’t bounce the same height each time you drop it.

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.

<u>Explanation: </u>

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.

12. An object accelerates 16.3 m/s2 when a force of 4.6 newtons is applied to it.
ladessa [460]
The acceleration of body is given 16.3m/s2 and the force is given 4.6 N then
We know,
Force=mass*acceleration
Then,
Mass=force/acceleration
Mass=4.6/16.3
Mass=0.28kg

Phantasy [73]

A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.

Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.

It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.

A 55.0-kg skydiver drew falls for a period of time before opening his parachute. what is his kinetic energy when he reaches a ve
Jlenok [28]
Mass (m)=55kg

acceleration (a)=9.81 m/s^2, this is the acceleration due to gravity.

initial velocity=0m/s. The skydiver doesn’t start with any speed because she is on the plane or helicopter.

final velocity=16m/s This is the velocity (speed) the skydiver reaches

The equation we use is KE=.5mv^2
Kinetic energy=.5 mass x velocity^2

KE=.5(55kg)(16m/s)^2
KE=.5(55kg)(256m/s)
KE=.5(14080J)

J=Joules

KE=7040J

Kinetic energy is 7040 Joules (J)

Hope this helps
