The correct answer is A. Solid

Gas has the least density because the atoms and molecules spread to fit the container. Liquids is between solid and gas when it comes to density, while solid has the highest density due to the way the molecules are tightly and closely connected.

A Tennis ball falls from a height 40m above the ground the ball rebounds

worty [1.4K]

If the ball is dropped with no initial velocity, then its velocity v at time t before it hits the ground is

v = -g t

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity.

Its height y is

y = 40 m - 1/2 g t²

The ball is dropped from a 40 m height, so that it takes

0 = 40 m - 1/2 g t²

==> t = √(80/g) s ≈ 2.86 s

for it to reach the ground, after which time it attains a velocity of

v = -g (√(80/g) s)

==> v = -√(80g) m/s ≈ -28.0 m/s

During the next bounce, the ball's speed is halved, so its height is given by

y = (14 m/s) t - 1/2 g t²

Solve y = 0 for t to see how long it's airborne during this bounce:

0 = (14 m/s) t - 1/2 g t²

0 = t (14 m/s - 1/2 g t)

==> t = 28/g s ≈ 2.86 s

So the ball completes 2 bounces within approximately 5.72 s, which means that after 5 s the ball has a height of

y = (14 m/s) (5 s - 2.86 s) - 1/2 g (5 s - 2.86 s)²

==> (i) y ≈ 7.5 m

(ii) The ball will technically keep bouncing forever, since the speed of the ball is only getting halved each time it bounces. But y will converge to 0 as t gets arbitrarily larger. We can't realistically answer this question without being given some threshold for deciding when the ball is perfectly still.

During the first bounce, the ball starts with velocity 14 m/s, so the second bounce begins with 7 m/s, and the third with 3.5 m/s. The ball's height during this bounce is

y = (3.5 m/s) t - 1/2 g t²

Solve y = 0 for t :

0 = (3.5 m/s) t - 1/2 g t²

0 = t (3.5 m/s - 1/2 g t)

==> (iii) t = 7/g m/s ≈ 0.714 s

As we showed earlier, the ball is in the air for 2.86 s before hitting the ground for the first time, then in the air for another 2.86 s (total 5.72 s) before bouncing a second time. At the point, the ball starts with an initial velocity of 7 m/s, so its velocity at time t after 5.72 s (but before reaching the ground again) would be

v = 7 m/s - g t

At 6 s, the ball has velocity

(iv) v = 7 m/s - g (6 s - 5.72 s) ≈ 4.26 m/s

As viewed from above in this picture, what direction will the current be in the coil of wire that will cause the loop to rotate

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

When viewed from above, the current in the coil should point towards the top-right corner of the picture.

Explanation:

The current in this coil have only two possible directions: clockwise or counter-clockwise. However, since the diagram shows the coil from above, not from a cross-section, just saying clockwise or counter-clockwise might be ambiguous. The statement that the current is directed towards the top-right corner of the picture is equivalent to saying that when viewed from the lower-right corner of this diagram, the current in the coil is moving clockwise.

Note that at the center of this picture, the current is parallel to the magnetic field- there will be no force on the coil at that position. On the other hand, (also when viewed from above,) at the top-right corner and the lower-left corner of the coil, the current in the coil will be perpendicular to the magnetic field. That's where the force on the coil will be the strongest.

With that in mind, apply the right-hand rule to find the direction of the force on the coil in each of the two possibilities.

Assume that when viewed from above, the current is flowing towards the top-right corner of the picture. Consider the wire near the top-right corner of this coil (as viewed above on this picture.) The current will be going into the picture into the magnetic field. By the right-hand rule, the current on the wire near that point should be pointing towards the bottom of this picture. (Point fingers on the right hand in the direction of the current $I$ . Rotate the right hand such that when curling the fingers, they point in the direction of the magnetic field $B$ . The direction of the right thumb should now point in the direction of the force on the wire $F$ .)

Based on the same assumption, the current in the wires near the bottom left corner of this coil will be pointing out of the picture. By the right hand rule, the magnetic force on the coil in that region should be pointing towards the top of this picture. Combing these two forces, the coil would indeed be rotating around the center of this picture in the direction shown in the diagram.

It can also be shown that if the current points towards the bottom left corner of the picture when viewed from above, the coil will be rotating about the center of this picture in the opposite direction.
