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.

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular path around a proton. The speed of the electron is appro
blondinia [14]
In order to answer these questions, we need to know the charges on
the electron and proton, and then we need to know the electron's mass. 
I'm beginning to get the creepy feeling that, in return for the generous
5 points, you also want me to go and look these up so I can use them
in calculations ... go and collect my own straw to make the bricks with,
as it were. 

Ok, Rameses:

Elementary charge . . . . .  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  coulomb
                                        negative on the electron
                                        plussitive on the proton

Electron rest-mass . . . . .  9.11 x 10⁻³¹  kg


a).  The force between two charges is

      F  =  (9 x 10⁹) Q₁ Q₂ / R²

          =  (9 x 10⁹ m/farad) (-1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹m)²

          =     ( -2.304 x 10⁻²⁸) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)²

          =          8.05 x 10⁻⁸  Newton .


b).  Centripetal acceleration  = 

                                               v² / r  .

                  A  =  (2.03 x 10⁶)² / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)

                     =      7.7 x 10²²  m/s² .

That's an enormous acceleration ... about  7.85 x 10²¹  G's !
More than enough to cause the poor electron to lose its lunch.

It would be so easy to check this work of mine ...
First I calculated the force, then I calculated the centripetal acceleration.
I didn't use either answer to find the other one, and I didn't use  "  F = MA "
either.

I could just take the ' F ' that I found, and the 'A' that I found, and the
electron mass that I looked up, and mash the numbers together to see
whether  F = M A .

I'm going to leave that step for you.   Good luck !

What is the magnitude of g at a height above Earth's surface where free-fall acceleration equals 6.5m/s^2?
prohojiy [21]

You've given the answer, right there in your question.

The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.

We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about 

                     (1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times

the Earth's radius, so the height is about  910 miles above the surface.

Answer:

Molecules speed up

Explanation:

This is caused because of the temperature increasing. The temperature increase is telling us that the thermal energy of the reaction is increasing. When the energy is increased molecules increase their speed, because they have more energy in them
