Assume that a 15-kg ball moving at 8 m/s strikes a wall perpendicularly and rebounds elastically at the same speed. What is the

amount of impulse given to the wall? Be sure to show all work to support your answer.

So we are told that the ball rebounds elastically. What this means momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. So our initial condition equals our final condition.

Our initial condition is when the ball is moving at 8m/s and is 15 kg.

p_0 = (8m/s)(15kg) = 120kg*m/s

Next we our told it bounces off in the negative direction moving at 8m/s

p_f = (-8m/s)(15kg) = -120kg*m/s

Impulse, denoted as J, which is the change in momentum.

J=p_f-p_0 = -120kg*m/s - 120kg*m/s = -240kg*m/s

J = -240kg*m/s

Hope this helps! :D

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) technician A

Explanation: A parking brake is a secondary and support brake system which is usually applied when the vehicle is not in motion,this is done to prevent any form of motion and the possibility of any form of accident.

A secondary circuit is a circuit or coil in which current is generated through induction from another circuit or coil called the primary circuit,it has not been discovered that a low pressure from that circuit has led to poor trailer parking brake performance.
