1 answer:

4 0

In the question "What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?" The correct answer is that they are all renewable energy.
Solar energy is energy that comes from the heat from the sun.
Wind energy is the energy that is generated from the wind.
Geothermal energy energy is the energy that comes from the heat from the earth.

1. Question

Paraphin [41]

All of the forces listed are correct. There are 4 presently known forces.
Second question os B. the Lorentz force. It's given by
F=q(E+VxB) where q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, V is the particle's velocity vector, B is the magnetic flux density, and "x" represents the vector cross product.

A satellite is always being pulled by gravity. a. True b. False

tangare [24]

This is true. Gravity is constantly pulling on anything and everything (even light!), no matter how far away it is from another object.

Satelite communication is only possible using

zimovet [89]

None of the choices is correct.

Satellite communication is quite effective using either analog OR digital transmission.

Sound can't be used for satellite communication at all. (There's no medium to carry the sound to or from the satellite, and if there were, then the round-trip up and down through a geostationary satellite would take at least a minute at the sea-level speed of sound.)

Cellular devices can work but aren't required.

A superball with a mass m = 61.6 g is dropped from a height h = [02]____________________ m. It hits the floor and then rebounds

aleksklad [387]

There is not enough data to solve the problem, but I'm assuming the initial height as h = 10 m for the question to have a valid answer and the student can have a reference to solve their own problem

Answer:

(a) $\Delta P=1.67 \ kg.m/s$

(b) $\Delta P=0.86\ m/s$

Explanation:

Change of Momentum

The momentum of a given particle of mass m traveling at a speed v is given by

$P=m.v$

When this particle changes its speed to a value v', the new momentum is

$P'=m.v'$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta P=m.v'-m.v$

$\Delta P=m.(v'-v)$

Defining upward as the positive direction, we'll compute the change of momentum in two separate cases.

(a) The initial height of the superball of m=61.6 gr = 0.0616 Kg is set to h= 10 m. This information leads us to have the initial potential energy of the ball just after it's dropped to the floor:

$U=m.g.h=0.0616\cdot 9.8\cdot 10 =6.0368\ J$

This potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy just before the collision occurs, thus

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}mv^2=6.0368$

Solving for v

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{6.0368\cdot 2}{0.0616}}$

$v=-14\ m/s$

This is the speed of the ball just before the collision with the floor. It's negative because it goes downward. Now we'll compute the speed it has after the collision. We'll use the new height and proceed similarly as above. The new height is

$h'=88.5\% (10)=8.85\ m$
