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.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Nanotechnology refers to the branch of science and engineering devoted to designing, producing, and using structures, devices, and systems by manipulating atoms and molecules at nanoscale, i.e. having one or more dimensions of the order of 100 nanometres (100 millionth of a millimetre) or less.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

An interference pattern.

Explanation:

When we have two light source of the same frequency turned on close to each other, the light emitted by them will interfere since light is also a wave. This means that an interference pattern will appear in a screen put ahead of them, that is, bands of light and darkness where the waves are interfering constructively and destructively.

A star is in hydrostatic equilibrium when the outward push of pressure due to core burning is exactly in balance with the inward
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

Hydro static equilibrium holds a star steady and balanced. Whenever a star stops burning hydrogen in its center, there must be evolutionary improvements to maintain equilibrium for the star Of example, if a star's internal pressure and temperature fall, gravity will take over and force the star to contract and heat up, restoring stability. By contrast, if a star's internal pressure and temperature rises, the extra pressure causes the star to widen and cool, restoring balance.

so, according to above explanation options a and b both are true

a) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.

b) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.

The asteroid, Ida, has a small moon, Dactyl, that orbits at a speed of 5.66 m/s in an orbit of radius 90, 000m . What is Ida's m
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

4.3 x 10^16 kg

Explanation:

M = rv^2/G =[90,000 x 5.66^2] / [6.67 x 10^-11]

M = 43,226,446,776,611,694 = 4.3 x 10^16 kg - Ida's mass.
