Answer:

a)  ΔE = 25 %

b) v = 8,85 m/s

c) The energy was used against air resistance

Explanation:

In any situation total energy of a body is equal to potential energy plus

kinetic energy, then, just at the moment when Isaac dop the ball the situation is:

Ei = Ep + Ek         where     Ep = m*g*h    and  Ek = 1/2*m*v²

As v = 0  (Isaac drops the ball)

Ei = Ep  =  m*g*h    = 2*m*g

At the end (when the ball bounced to 1,5 m

E₂ = Ep₂  + Ek₂         again at that point  v =0 and

E₂ = 1,5*m*g*

Ei =  E₂ + E(lost)

E(lost) = Ei - E₂

E(lost) = 2*m*g* - 1,5*m*g      and the fraction of energy lost is

E(lost)/Ei

ΔE = (2*m*g* - 1,5*m*g )/ 2*m*g

ΔE = 0,5*m*g / 2*m*g

ΔE = 0,5/2

ΔE = 0,25      or     ΔE = 25 %

b) The speed of the ball is

Potential energy is converted in kinetic energy just when the ball is touching the ground, then

m*g*h = 1/2*m*v²

2*h*g = 1/2 *v²

v² = 4*g*h

v² = 4*2*9,8

v² = 78,4

v = 8,85 m/s

If the impact is an elastic collision, then Ek before and after the impact is the same.

Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Two tennis balls that are near each other  

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is

F = \dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2} }

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.

Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.

If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.

The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.

The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.

Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.
