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.

3241004551 [841]
I believe Box B will have a greater gravitational pull because the gravitational pull of an object depends on its mass. The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational pull will become.

For example, we can take planets. Naturally, they are round because once upon a time there was a larger piece of rock that attracted others. But the size of the rock won't matter, it's the weight that matters. If the rock weighed nothing, the other rocks would just rebound upon contact. But if the rock weighed a lot, then things wouldn't so easily rebound and might actually stick to it.

Hello!

\large\boxed{KE = 50J}

Use the formula for kinetic energy:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the given mass and velocity:

KE = \frac{1}{2} (4)5^{2}

Simplify:

KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)\\\\KE = 50 J

A ______ is a network that has all connected devices located in the same physical location.
Dafna11 [192]
<span>The answer is Local Area Network (LAN). Examples of LANs, are those in workplaces, libraries, and universities. The nodes are connected and share common resources over a WiFi, Ethernet network, Token rings, and etcetera. The opposite of LAN is a Wide Area Network (WAN) that covers a wide geographical area.</span>

makkiz [27]

Answer:

An ultra intense laser is one with which intensities greater than 1015 W cm-2 can be achieved.

Explanation:

This intensity, which was the upper limit of lasers until the invention of the Chirped Pulse Amplification, CPA technique, is the value around which nonlinear effects on the transport of radiation in materials begin to appear.

Currently, the most powerful lasers reach intensities of the order of 1021W cm-2 and powers of Petawatts, PW, in each pulse. This range of intensities has opened the door for lasers to a multitude of disciplines and scientific areas traditionally reserved for accelerators and nuclear reactors, applying as generators of high-energy electron, ion, neutron and photon beams, without the need for expensive infrastructure.
