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.

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.
marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )

where;

  • -v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
  • -vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
  • fs is the source frequency
  • fo is the observed frequency
  • v is speed of sound

f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )

f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an
Mademuasel [1]
We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0
where
W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N is the weight of the person
W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
T_1 = 2845 N-T_2 (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using W_p = 883 N and replacing T1 with (1), we find
2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0
from which we find
T_2 = 1128 N

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
T_1 = 1717 N

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J
