Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the ball, m = 1.2 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 10 m/s
Height of the floor from ground, h = 32 m
(a) Let v is the final speed of the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :



v = -25.04 m/s (negative as it rebounds)
The impulse acting on the ball is equal to the change in momentum. It can be calculated as :


J = -42.048 kg-m/s
(b) Time of contact, t = 0.02 s
Let F is the average force on the floor from by the ball. Impulse acting on an object is given by :



F = 0.8409 N
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
at the speed of light (
)
Explanation:
The second postulate of the theory of the special relativity from Einstein states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c in all inertial frames of reference, where
"
This means that it doesn't matter if the observer is moving or not relative to the source of ligth: he will always observe light moving at the same speed, c.
In this problem, we have a starship emitting a laser beam (which is an electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light). The startship is moving relative to the Earth with a speed of 2.0*10^8 m/s: however, this is irrelevant for the exercise, because according to the postulate we mentioned above, an observer on Earth will observe the laser beam approaching Earth with a speed of
.
Explanation:
Position-time graphs measure/express the position of a skater over time relative to the start or finish of the race (depends on how it is used). Note: are the skaters in line vertically or horizontally? Like is one directly behind the other or are they next to each other?
If the two skaters are in line horizontally with each other, then their position will be the same relative to the start or finish of the race. This means if one passes the other one, the position would be different for all times after they pass. On the graph, it would look like one single line at the start (as position is same) which splits into 2 (representing the new difference in position due to 1 passing the other.
If the two skaters are in line vertically, their lines on the graph will appear parallel to each other (assuming they are going same speed) because the position is changing at the same rate, one is just reaching the same point after the other. If the skater behind overtakes the one in front. The lines on the graph will cross and continue either in parallel but with the other line on top to represent the moment where their position is the same right before they pass and after, where the second skater is now in front.
Hope this helped!
