To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto the floor from a height of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If

the ball is in contact with the floor for I2.0 ms, (a) what is the magnitude of its average acceleration during that contact and (b) is the average acceleration up or down?

Answer:

Part a)

a = 1260.3 m/s^2

Part b)

Direction = upwards

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m

then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_1^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.81)(4.0)

v_1 = 8.86 m/s

Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - v_2^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.00)

v_2 = 6.26 m/s

Part a)

Average acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12.0 \times 10^{-3}}

a = 1260.35 m/s^2

Part B)

As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards

So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards

Answer:

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

Explanation:

You are camping in the breathtaking mountains if Colorado. You spy an unopened diet soda can floating motionless below the surface of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it?

A. Zero

B. Down, equal to the can's weight

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

D. Not enough information is given

from the principle of flotation which states that a

When a body displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. : A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. ... Archimedes' principle equates the buoyant force to the weight of the fluid displaced.

the upthrust (this is the upward vertical force exerted on an object in fluid)in the water equals the weight of the body in water it floats.

Which phenomenon occurs when the moon and Earth are aligned with the sun? A. Retrograde motion B. Solstice C. Equinox D. Eclipse
muminat

Answer: Eclipse

Explanation: A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon moves through the shadow of the Earth. This can only happen when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun and all three are lined up in the same plane, called the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
