Answer:

friction and spin

Explanation:

There are two things that make the ball bounce backwards: friction and spin. Friction is a force that occurs whenever two objects are pressed together. ... Rubber balls are very elastic, which means that when they hit something they bounce back in the opposite direction.

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the temperature of a reaction will affect the rate of the reaction.

kirill115 [55]

Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the reaction to become kinetically excited, hitting one another in increasing frequency. Increased collision among means faster rate or reaction.

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense

Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = $\frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}$

i.e P = $\frac{E}{t}$

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$

P = $\frac{mgh}{t}$

= $\frac{0.4*10*100}{20}$

= $\frac{400}{20}$

P = 20 W

3) u = 600 m/s

g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$

From the third equation of free fall,

$V^{2}$ = $U^{2}$ - 2gh

V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, h is the height.

0 = $(600)^{2}$ - 2 x 10 x h

0 = 360000 - 20h

20h = 360000

h = $\frac{360000}{20}$

= 18000

h = 18 km

The maximum height of the bullet would be 18 km.

studies show that the amount of heat stored in the ocean is increasing. what effect might this have? a. the water cycle might di

Rasek [7]

Answer;

D. ocean currents might change course.

Explanation;

Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.

Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.
