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.

You walk from your bedroom, 25m to the mailbox, and then walk 25m back to your bedroom. What is your total distance? What is you
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.

Why cant your rocket could never reach the speed of light?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The length of the object would shrink to zero which is not possible.

Explanation:

A rocket or any body cannot reach the speed of light because according to theory of relativity the and the Lorentz factor the length of the object would shrink to zero and the time dilation for that body would be infinite.

The Lorentz factor is given as:

\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

where:

v = speed of the moving object

c = speed of light

What provides the force on the person in the passenger seat?
podryga [215]

The forces that make a passenger speed up, slow down, or
turn a curve are the same forces that have the same effect
on the driver and anybody else in the car.

-- Speeding up . . .

              the back of the seat
              friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants

-- Slowing down . . .

              the seat belt
              friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants

-- Turning away from a straight line . . .
   
              the seat belt
              friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants
              the door, or whatever or whomever you're leaning against
