Answer:
Explanation:
The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.
A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.
Even though the Earth has less mass than the Sun, the moon orbits Earth because it’s much nearer to it.
<u>Explanation
:</u>
The fact is that the Moon orbits both the Sun and the Earth. On looking at the orbit of the Moon, it orbits in the same manner the way Earth does, but in a Spiro graph pattern along with orbiting the Earth with a small wobble to it.
Since the Sun has greater distance from the Moon as compared to the Earth (around 400 times), the gravity of Earth draws better impact on the Moon.
The escape velocity of the Moon is about 1.2 km/s at the distance from the Earth which is not sufficient to get ripped away from the Earth.
Hence, the moon orbits the Earth along with orbiting the Sun together with the Earth, but seems as if it only orbits the Moon.
Answer: Energy consumption and sustainability is important so that it remain available for future generation.
Explanation:
1. The home furnaces are likely to require fuel like coal, which will directly emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases. These should be replaced with the electrical furnaces. The old or more power consuming air conditioners should be replaced with new ones.
2. The water heaters should be tankless so their capacity to heat more water could be possible. The water heaters should be electricity saving.
3. Washer and dryers should be water savy and electricity savy. A front-loading washing machine is useful energy saver.
4. The LED lights are more electricity saving than conventional bulbs. Halogen lights are also electricity saving.
