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.

An 80kg astronaut traveled to the moon, where gravity is one-sixth (116) as
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Wmoon = 131 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.

w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *m*g\\w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *80*9.81\\w_{moon}=130.8 [N] = 131 [N]

A bowling ball with a mass of 9kg is thrown down a lane with a constant speed of 3 m/s. The ball hits the 1.5kg pin, initially a
olasank [31]

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3    conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1      where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9  =   (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

3) How far will 20 N of force stretch a spring with a spring constant of 140 N/m?
muminat

Answer:

7 meters, 2.8 meters

Explanation:

work done (nm) = force (n) * distance (m)

140= 20 * m

140/20 = m

m=7 meters

140= 50 * m

140/50 = m

m= 2.8 meters

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 \frac{m}{s}

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = \frac{0-8}{-9.8}

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s
