Energy is the one that is stored in the ball when it drops. Just before it hits the ground, the energy depends on the mass of the ball and its velocity. When the ball hits, it is compressed and the energy is stored in the compression of the air in the ball and the elasticity of the material that the ball is made from. Some is also converted to heat. The stored energy in the ball causes a force to make the ball back into a round shape and this force presses against the propels and floor the ball back up. The small amount lost as heat is the reason that the ball bounces up with less energy than when it hit.

Answer:

T_{2}=278.80 K

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}.

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.  

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40

Finally, T2 will be:

T_{2}=278.80 K

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

Which vehicle has the LEAST kinetic energy? 18-wheeler, minivan, car, or bike?
Whitepunk [10]

We can make pretty good guesses for their masses, but kinetic energy also depends on their speeds, which we don't know, and may change.

As an example ... If the truck, the van, the car, and the bike are all parked at the mall, then a scampering mouse has more kinetic energy than all of them combined.

As the question stands, no answer is possible.
