A teacher is demonstrating energy transformation with a basketball. He drops the ball from a fixed height and challenges his stu

dents to predict the height that the ball will bounce. • Student A predicts that the ball will bounce to the exact height it was dropped. • Student B predicts that the ball will bounce at a height lower than the height it was dropped. What is a reasonable rationale for the predictions of student A and student B? Be sure to include an explanation of the energy transformation as well.

The ball will bounce at a height lower than the height it was dropped.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a basket ball is thrown from a particular height, it bounces back. But the height it bounces back at is not exactly the same height from where it was thrown.

With further bounces, the energy of the basket ball goes on decreasing and the bounces go on getting smaller. This shows that there is a change in the energy of the basket ball with every bounce that the ball makes. Some energy lost from the ball gets absorbed by the court and some of the energy is changed into thermal energy.

just olya [345]

Answer:

1.) Displacement = 32.08m

2.) Velocity = 55km/h

3.) Acceleration = 94.29 km/h^2

Explanation:

Given that the train takes 35 minutes to cover the distance between the two towns. The train's average speed is 55 kilometers per hour. That is,

Time t = 35 minute

Convert it to hours by dividing it by 60

35/60 = 7/12 hours

Speed = 55 km/h

The displacement of the car is:

Displacement = 55 × 7/12 = 32.08 m

The velocity of the car will be 55 km/h

The acceleration of the car will be:

Acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute velocity and time into the formula

Acceleration = 55 ÷ 7/12

Acceleration = 94.29 km/h^2

A container has 79000cm3 of mercury. Find the mass of mercury if the density is 13.6g/cm3
ZanzabumX [31]

Explanation:

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = M / V

Given V = 79000 cm³ and D = 13.6 g/cm³:

13.6 g/cm³ = M / (79000 cm³)

M = 1,074,400 g

M = 1,074 kg

Round as needed.
