The height a ball bounces is less than the height of the previous bounce due to friction. The heights of the bounces form a geom

etric sequence. Suppose a ball is dropped from one meter and rebounds 95​% of the height of the previous bounce. What is the total distance traveled by the ball when it comes to​ rest? Does the problem give you enough information to solve the​ problem? How can you write the general term of the​ sequence? What formula should you use to calculate the total​ distance?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the first height be h . second height .75h

third height .75h . fourth height .75²h

fifth height .75²h , sixthth height .75³ and so on

Total distance consists of two geometric series as follows

1 ) first series

h + .75h + .75²h + .75³h......

2 )  second series

.75h +.75²h +.75³h + .75⁴h .......

Sum of first series :

first term a = h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= h / 1 - .75

= h / .25

4h

sum of second series :--

first term a = .75 h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= .75h / 1 - .75

= .75h / .25

3h

Total of both the series

= 4h + 3h

= 7h .

h = 1 m

Total distance = 7 m

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19

Arada [10]
Q = C.v
v = Q/C
v = 4 × 10^(-10)/250
 = 4 × 10^(-10)/2.5 × 10^2
 = 1.6 × 10^(-12) volt

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t
noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

3 : Great seriousness.
