A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its ve

locity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 3.50 ms (3.50×10−3s). (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid

Answer:

(a)   v = 5.42m/s

(b)   vo = 4.64m/s

(c)   a = 2874.28m/s^2

(d)   Δy = 5.11*10^-3m

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of the ball before it hits the floor is given by:

v=\sqrt{2gh}        (1)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

h: height where the ball falls down = 1.50m

v=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(1.50m)}=5.42\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the ball is 5.42m/s

(b) To calculate the velocity of the ball, after it leaves the floor, you use the information of the maximum height reached by the ball after it leaves the floor.

You use the following formula:

h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}       (2)

vo: velocity of the ball where it starts its motion upward

You solve for vo and replace the values of the parameters:

v_o=\sqrt{2gh_{max}}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(1.10m)}=4.64\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ball is 4.64m/s

(c) The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_o-v}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=\frac{4.64m/s-(-5.42m)/s}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=2874.285\frac{m}{s^2}

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_o-v}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=\frac{4.64m/s-5.42m/s}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=-222.85\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration of the ball is 2874.28/s^2

(d) The compression of the ball is:

\Deta y=\frac{v^2}{2(a)}=\frac{(5.42m/s)^2}{2(2874.28m/s^2)}=5.11*10^{-3}m

THe compression of the ball when it strikes the floor is 5.11*10^-3m

Which component measures the potential difference across a branch in a circuit? A.switch. B.resistor. C.ammeter. D.voltmeter.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).

_____ heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Polar Geothermal Nuclear Latent
NikAS [45]
The correct answer is Latent. Latent heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Hurricanes are a low pressure that is formed in warm oceans and the source of this energy is water vapor. Water vapor serves to be the food to the hurricanes because they release the latent heat of condensation.
