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.

Assuming acceleration due to gravity of the moon is constant and there’s no initial velocity in the mans jump we can use one of the kinematic equations. x(final)=x(initial)+(1/2)gt^2. Plug in known values. 0=10-(1.62/2)t^2. The value 1.62 is acceleration of gravity on the moon. Now simply solve for t. t=3.513

To cross the river a swimmer chooses the direction minimizing the amount of time spent in the water. The swimmer swims at a cons
Lynna [10]

Answer:

304 meters downstream

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed of the swimmer = 2.00 m/s

The width of the river = 73.0 m

The speed of the river = 8.00 m/s

Therefore;

The direction of the swimmer's resultant velocity = tan⁻¹(8/2) ≈ 75.96° downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 4 × 73 = 304 m downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 304 m downstream
