When I drop a bouncy ball it bounces back up to me. What force causes it to bounce?

I do not think that there is a "force" that causes it to bounce. it's the rubber (or whatever material) makes up the ball.

Gravity pulls the ball down to the centre of the Earth but the ground resists the ball in the opposite direction. If there was no resistance the ball would phase through the ground. This is Newton's Second Law. However since the ball is made of rubber (just an assumption), the force of the floor resisting the ball is higher than the force of gravity, hence the ball then flies back up.

<span>Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:

d = v0t + at^2/2

We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,

d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 32.50 N/m, is 0.640 J. Find by how
liraira [26]

Answer:

A

   x = 0.198456 \ m

B

    h  =  1.3061 \  m

C

 v =  5.06 \  m/s

D

  d = 4.0273 \  m

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

   The spring constant is  k  =  32.50 N/m

    The potential energy is  PE  =  0.640 \ J

Generally the potential  energy stored in spring  is mathematically represented as   PE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  x^2

=>    0.640=  \frac{1}{2}  * 32.50  *  x^2  

=>    x = \sqrt{0.03938}  

=>    x = 0.198456 \ m  

Considering the second question

 From the question we are told that

   The mass of the dart is  m =  0.050 kg

Generally from the law of energy conservation

         PE =  mgh

=>       0.640   =  0.050 *  9.8  *  h

=>      h  =  1.3061 \  m

Considering the third  question

   The height at which the dart was fired horizontally is  H  =   3.90\  m

Generally  from the law of energy conservation

         PE = KE

Here  KE is kinetic energy of the dart which is mathematical represented as

     KE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  mv^2

=>      0.640 =  \frac{1}{2}  * 0.050 *  v^2

=>       v^2 = 25.6

=>       v =  5.06 \  m/s

Considering the fourth question

Generally the total time of flight of the dart is mathematically represented as

       t  =  \frac{ 2 *  H }{g}

=>     t  =  \frac{ 2 * 3.90 }{9.8 }

=>     t  =  0.7959 \ s

Generally the  horizontal distance from the equilibrium position to the ground is  mathematically represented as

       d =  v  *   t

=>     d = 5.06  *   0.7959

=>     d = 4.0273 \  m

Planet a and planet b are in circular orbits around a distant star. planet a is 7.8 times farther from the star than is planet
gogolik [260]
To find the ratio of planetary speeds Va/Vb we need the orbital velocity formula: 

V=√({G*M}/R), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the distant star and R is the distance of the planet from the star it is orbiting. 

So Va/Vb=[√( {G*M}/Ra) ] / [√( {G*M}/Rb) ], in our case Ra = 7.8*Rb 

Va/Vb=[ √( {G*M}/{7.8*Rb} ) ]  / [√( {G*M}/Rb )], we put everything under one square root by the rule: (√a) / (√b) = √(a/b) 

Va/Vb=√ [ { (G*M)/(7.8*Rb) } / { (G*M)/(Rb) } ], when we cancel out G, M and Rb we get:

Va/Vb=√(1/7.8)/(1/1)=√(1/7.8)=0.358 so the ratio of Va/Vb = 0.358.
