Answer: The height after the third bounce is 3.1 meters

Explanation: We know that after every bounce the ball rebounds to 80% (or 0.8 in decimal form) of its previous hight. So if the first height was 6m, after the first bounce, the height will be:

H1 = 6m*0.8 = 4.8m

after the second bounce we have:

H2 = 4.8m*0.8 = 3.84m

and in the third bounce, the height is:

H3 = 3.84m*0.8 = 3.072m

Now we need to round it to the nearest thenth, this is the first number after the decimal point.

We can see that the second number after the decimal point is a 7, so we should round up, and get H3 = 3.1m

Another way to model this situation is with the equation:

H(b) = 6m*0.8^b

Where b is the number of bounces that the ball did.

in this situation, the third bounce is when b= 3, and we have that:

H(3) = 6m*0,8^3 = 3.072m, which is the same result as before.

The formula to solve this is (.80)^3 X 6 and the answer would be 3.1 feet. That is how high the ball will rebound after its third bounce. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

How do the Sun, Earth, and Moon systems interact
Nataly [62]

The sun is the mother star of the solar system, which only emits light to half of the planet, while the other part is always dark.

The sun emits light towards the earth, which dominates all life on earth. The movements of the Moon around the Earth and of the Earth around the Sun are complex. Movements of rotation around their own axes are superimposed on movements of orbital translation. The Earth and the Moon rotate around their own axes: This is rotation.

liquid helium has a very low boiling point, 4.2 k, as well as a very low latent heat of vaporization, 2.00 104 j/kg. if energy i
aksik [14]

4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }  long does it take to boil away 2.40 kg of the liquid.

Boiling point of He is $T=4.2 \mathrm{k}$

Latent heat of vapourization $L=2.00 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}$

Power of electrical heater $P=30 \mathrm{w}$

mass of liquid is $m=2.40 \mathrm{~kg}$

amount of heat required to boil

$$\begin{aligned}&Q=m L \\&Q=2.40 \times 2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} \\&Q=4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}$$

Power $p=\frac{\text { work }}{\text { time }}=\frac{\text { Energy }}{\text { Time }}$

$$\begin{aligned}P &=\frac{Q}{t} \\\text { tine } t &=\frac{Q}{P}=\frac{4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}}{10} \\t &=4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }\end{aligned}$$

The heat or energy that is absorbed or released during a substance's phase shift is known as latent heat. It could go from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas, or vice versa. Enthalpy, a characteristic of heat, is connected to latent heat.

The heat that is used or lost as matter melts and transitions from a solid to a fluid form at a constant temperature is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Due to the fact that during softening the heat energy anticipated to transform the substance from solid to fluid at air pressure is the latent heat of fusion and that the temperature remains constant during the process, the "enthalpy" of fusion is a latent heat. The enthalpy change of any quantity of material during dissolution is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Help please
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1) D, 2) D, 3) B, 4) B, 5) C

Explanation:

You are asked to select the correct answer

1)  The conservation of energy is one of the most important principles of physics that allows solving countless problems in life.

the correct answer is D

2) when a body falls, the gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and both are transformed into thermal energy

the correct answer is D

3) When the gravitational potential energy is maximum, the kinetic energy is minimum and when the kinetic energy is maximum, the gravitational energy is minimum.

Correct answer B

4) speed is defined by

         v = x / t

so the correct answer is B in the SI system

5) when we repeat a measurement several times, the random or statistical errors decrease, therefore the confidence of the measurement increases.

The correct answer is C

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer?
Archy [21]
The answer is D. As the ambulance gets closer, the sound waves are compressed relative to the person; so the frequency increases.
