Describe the mechanical energy and the thermal energy of a bouncing basketball

Physics
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

when the ball is bounced gravitationally energy is released (more info below)

Explanation:

When a force is applied down to the ball, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy before it hits the earth. Cinetic energy is converted into vibration, thermal, and static electrical energy, before the momentum of the ball pushes the ball back up into the hands of the people.

hope this helped!

14. A rocket is shot up into the air and then comes back down and hits the ground 9.2 second later.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

105.8 m

46 m/s

Explanation:

From the time the rocket is launched to the time it reaches its maximum height:

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 9.2 s / 2 = 4.6 s

Find: Δy and v₀

Δy = vt − ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.6 s) − ½ (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s)²

Δy = 105.8 m

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s) + v₀

v₀ = 46 m/s

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=
vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 ,  acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing  

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

         a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

         v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

         a = - sin (t²/2) -  (t-1) cos (t²/2)  2t / 2

         a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1)  cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

          a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

          a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

          a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

Which properties do metalloids share with metals?
Inga [223]
Metals are not brittle so it can’t be the first one or the third one, both metalloids and metals are shiny so it can’t be the second one. Therefore, it would be the last one because both metalloids and metals are shiny and both are solids at room temperature because it is not a high enough melting point.

ANSWER: Both are shiny and are solid at room temperature.

Defined the work of vector​
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

In physics, work is the amount of energy required to perform a given task (such as moving an object from one point to another). We start by defining the scalar product of two vectors, which is an integral part of the definition of work, and then turn to defining and using the concept of work to solve problems.
