A rubber ball is dropped and bounces vertically from a horizontal concrete floor. If the ball has a speed of 4.1 m/s just before

striking the floor, and a speed of 3.9 m/s just after bouncing, find the average force of the floor on the ball. Assume that the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.26 s, and that the mass of the ball is 0.44 kg.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply Newton's second law with the peculiarity that the expression given for velocity must be expressed in terms of the rate of change of velocity and time.

Mathematically this is,

F= ma

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

Where,

m = mass

\Delta V= Change in velocity

t = Time

Since the time interval occurs when the speed hits - in the downward direction - until it bounces - in the upward direction - we will have that the change in speed is given by

\Delta V = (3.9)-(-4.1)

The rest of our values are given as:

m = 0.26s

t = 0.44kg

Finally replacing we will have to

F = 0.44 \frac{(3.9)-(-4.1) }{0.26}

F = 13.53N

Therefore the final average force of the floor on the ball is 13.53N

Distinguish between elastic collasin<br>and inelastic collasin<br>​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, two or more bodies are in contact with one another and there is no net loss of kinetic energy in the system. By the virtue of this, the bodies and objects do not stick together after they collide.

Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in an elastic collision. An example is when a football hits a wall.

For an inelastic collision, the bodies sticks together after they collide and there is a loss of kinetic energy after they collide. An example of this type of collision is when a gum is throw against a wall.

A diffraction grating with 140 slits per centimeter is used to measure the wavelengths emitted by hydrogen gas. At what angles i
Degger [83]

Answer:

0.003181 radians

0.003005 radians

Explanation:

Number of slits = 140 /cm

λ = Wavelength = 434 nm = 434×10⁻⁹ m

m = 3 Third order spectrum

Space between slits

d=\frac{0.01}{140} =7.14\times 10^{-5}\ m

Now,

dsin\theta = m\lambda\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(\frac{m\lambda}{d}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3\times 434\times 10^{-9}}{7.14\times 10^{-5}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}0.018228\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.01823^{\circ}=0.01823\times \frac{\pi}{180}=0.003181 radians

0.003181 radians

When λ = 410 nm = 410×10⁻⁹ m

dsin\theta = m\lambda\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(\frac{m\lambda}{d}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3\times 410\times 10^{-9}}{7.14\times 10^{-5}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}0.01722\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.01722^{\circ}=0.01722\times \frac{\pi}{180}=0.003005 radians

0.003005 radians

An electromagnetic radio wave is received by a transmitter before it is converted to a sound wave. The radio wave has a waveleng
lakkis [162]

Answer: The velocity is the wave traveling at before the transmitter converts it to a sound wave is 2.99\times 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Wavelength of the  electromagnetic wave = 23,076 m

Frequency of the wave = 13,000 Hertz

\text{Time period}=\frac{1}{Frequency}

Velocity=\frac{displacement}{Time}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{Time period}}=\lambda \times Frequency=23,076\times 13,000 Hertz=2.99\times 10^8 m/s

The velocity is the wave traveling at before the transmitter converts it to a sound wave is 2.99\times 10^8 m/s
