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

e ball is in contact with the floor for 12.0ms,
(a) What is the magnitude of its average acceleration during the contact?
(b) is the acceleration up or down?

Answer:

Part a)

a = 1210.3 m/s^2

Part b)

Since it rebounds upwards so it's acceleration is in upwards direction

Explanation:

Velocity of the ball just before it will collide with the floor when it is dropped from height 4.00 m

So we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

so we have

v_1^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(4.00)

v_1 = 8.86 m

When ball rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so here we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d

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

v_2 = 6.26 m/s

Part a)

For magnitude of average acceleration

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

a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12\times 10^{-3}}

a = 1210.3 m/s^2

Part b)

Since it rebounds upwards so it's acceleration is in upwards direction

In this problem, we apply the equation regarding  kinematics  expressed as  vf^2 = v0^2 + 2as  vf eventually becomes zero because the ball stops in the end. a = -9.8 m/s2s = 2 metres this time 
This gives initial velocity, vo equal to 6.26m/s 
now 6.26-(-8.85) = 15.11m/s 

change in velocity/change in time = average acceleration 15.11/(12/1000) = 1259.167 m/s^2

What is the coldest place on earth
exis [7]

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.

Michael's house is 5.0 km away from his school. How long would it take him to go ti school, riding a bus, if its velocity is 25
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

12 mins

Explanation:

The distance covered is 5 km, divide this by 25 to get the fraction of an hour it takes. Doing this you get .2, times this by 60 min (1 hour) to get how many mins it takes

In a chemical reaction, the total charge of the reactants must be
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the same with that of products

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the total charge of the reactants must be the same with that of products.

Charges must be conserved or balanced in chemical reactions.

  • In both acidic and basic/neutral medium electrons are used to balance the charge.
  • The appropriate number of electrons is added to the side with a larger charge.
  • One electron is used to balance each positive charge.
  • This ensures that the sum of charges on both sides the same.

A spring stretches 3.5 cm when a 9 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 26 g which oscillates i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The period of motion  of new mass T = 0.637 sec

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object (m) = 9 gm = 0.009 kg

Δx = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

We know that spring force is given by

F = m g

F = 0.009 × 9.81 = 0.08829 N

Spring constant

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{0.08829}{0.035}

k = 2.522 \frac{N}{m}

New mass(m_1) = 26 gm = 0.026 kg

Now the period of motion is given by

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.026}{2.522} }

T = 0.637 sec

This is the period of motion  of new mass.

Why is a motorcycle helmet padded?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Motorcycle helmets are padded to give the rider the protection they require in case of accidents. Any hit to the head is absorbed by the padding and the rider is saved from any kind of fatal injury. Whenever a motorcycle rider falls from his motorcycle, there is every possibility that the head will hit the ground first. If the padding was not there, then the rider would get the direct impact of hitting. As most of the pressure of the hit gets absorbed by the inner padding of the helmet, so the rider is saved from the fatal accident. It does not mean that the driver will not have minor injuries but by all chance his life would be saved.
