Do as physics instructor fred cauthen does and place a tennis ball close to and above the top of a basketball. drop the balls to

gether. if their vertical alignment nicely remains as they fall to the floor, you'll see that the tennis ball bounces unusually high. can you reconcile this with energy conservation?

Answer:

after shock

creating a system for the conservation of the energy of the basketball ball and creating a system for the tennis ball only, the conservation of energy should be applied to each system independently

Explanation:

When the two balls fall they acquire the same speed since they are accelerated by the same force, their weight and the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity. When reaching the floor the mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

Upon reaching the floor, the first ball (basketball) collides with the floor, this process is very fast, at the end of the process the basketball comes out with a velicad up and collides with the much lighter tennis ball that is still descending .

we assume that the shocks are elastic, when solving the momentary and kinetic energy findings, we find the velocities after each shock

     

In this clash the tennis ball acquires a high kinetic speed with an upward direction that makes a very high height high. Again this shock is very fast and the tennis ball almost does not move.

Here we must separate the system, creating a system for the conservation of the energy of the basketball ball and another system for the tennis ball only, the conservation of energy should be applied to each system independently

Em₀ =K = 1/2 m v²

                    Em_{f} = U = m g h

As in the elastic shock the final speed of the tennis ball is approximately 2 vo, we can calculate the maximum height

                 m g h = 1/2 m (2v₀)²

                 h = 2 v₀²/g

To reconcile this with the conservation of energy we must calculate the energy for the tennis ball at two points, the first when the crash with the tennis ball ends and at the end point at its maximum height.

In the front is where the bass of everything comes from so it’s generally louder up there and toward the back there’s not as much bass to the music more just hearing the singer and other people screaming

A que profundidad esta nadando una persona dentro de una alberca si la presión absoluta sobre ésta es de 156kPa?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

La persona está nadando en la alberca a una profundida de 5.575 metros.

Explanation:

La presión absoluta (P_{tot}) experimentada por la persona es la suma de la presión atmosférica (P_{atm}) y la presión hidrostática de la columna de agua de la alberca (P_{h}), medidas en kilopascales. Es decir,

P_{tot} = P_{atm}+P_{h} (1)

P_{tot} = P_{atm} + \frac{\rho\cdot g \cdot z}{1000} (2)

Donde:

\rho - Densidad del fluido de la alberca, medida en kilogramos por metro cúbico.

g - Aceleración gravitacional, medida en metros por segundo al cuadrado.

z - Profundidad de la persona en la alberca, medida en metros.

Si sabemos que P_{atm} = 101.325\,kPa, \rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} y P_{tot} = 156\,kPa, entonces la profundidad de la persona en la alberca es:

156 = 101.325 +\frac{(1000)\cdot (9.807)\cdot z}{1000}

54.675 = 9.807\cdot z

z = 5.575\,m

La persona está nadando en la alberca a una profundida de 5.575 metros.

A paper pinwheel is spinning in the wind. Which statement is correct about the forces responsible for the rotation?​
laiz [17]

A paper pinwheel is spinning in the wind.

Which statement is correct about the forces responsible for the rotation?

The components of gravity and the force of wind that point through the pivot are responsible for the rotation.

Only the perpendicular component of wind is responsible for the rotation, because gravity points downward.

Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation, because wind points toward the pivot.

The perpendicular components of gravity and the force of wind are responsible for the rotation.

Answer:

Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot.

Explanation:

A pinwheel is a plaything that is made up of paper that is designed to spin when the wind comes in contact with it. The paper is held fast to its axle by a pin which enables it to spin.

Therefore, if the pinwheel is spun anti-clockwise, it brings electrical energy, converting the wind energy and <u>only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot. </u>

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t) = t i + t2 j + 3 k v(t) = a(t) =
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Velocity

v= i + 2  j

Acceleration

a= 2 j

Explanation:

Given that

r(t) = t i + t² j + 3 k

We know that

Velocity v given as

v= dr/dt

dr/dt= i + 2 t j +0

v= i + 2 t j

At t= 1

v= i + 2 x 1 j

v= i + 2  j

Acceleration ,a

a=  dv/dt

v= i + 2 t j

dv/dt= 2 j

a= 2 j
