Answer: (D) 33 feet

First consider that the height is 12 feet and the ball is dropped from that height and the ball bounces back up to half the height that is 6 feet, then second time when the ball is dropped, according to the given question, the height becomes 6 feet and when the ball returns back then it returns back to half of the height that is 3 feet, following the similar path, we can write bounces one at a time:

1.  Ball is dropped from 12 feet and bounces back to 6 feet.

2. Ball is dropped from 6 feet and bounces back to 3 feet.

3. Ball is dropped from 3 feet and bounces back to 1.5 feet.

4. Ball is dropped from 1.5 feet and reaches the ground.

Adding the total distance traveled,we get

12+6+6+3+3+1.5+1.5=33 feet.

The best thing to do in order to calculate the distance of the ball taht would have traveled when it hits the ground for the fourth time is to list the height everytime it bounces. We calculate as follows:

<span>12+6+6+3+3+1.5+1.5 = 33 feet</span>

The largest graduated cylinder in my lab holds 2 L and has an inner diamter (the part that holds the water) of 8 cm. When it is
mestny [16]

Answer:

<em>3924 Pa</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder = 2 L = 0.002 m^3  (1000 L = 1 m^3)

diameter of the inner cylinder = 8 cm = 0.08 m  (100 cm = 1 m)

radius of the inner cylinder = diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m

area of the inner cylinder = \pi r^{2}

where \pi = 3.142,

and r = radius = 0.04 m

area of inner cylinder = 3.142 x 0.04^{2} = 0.005 m^2

<em>height h of the water in this cylinder = volume/area</em>

h = 0.002/0.005 = 0.4 m

<em>pressure at the bottom of the cylinder due to the height of water = pgh</em>

where

p = density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h = height of water within this cylinder = 0.4 m

pressure = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = <em>3924 Pa</em>

Questions:<br>(a) Why should the amplitude of oscillation be small on a pendulum experiment​
Snowcat [4.5K]
The formula for the pendulum experiment is based on the assumption that the amplitude is small so that the angle is approximately equal to the Sine of the angle.

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment
Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.
