A ball weighing 10 kg traveling at 1.4 m/s hits and rebounds back off a wall and now travels 1.4 m/s in the opposite direction.

What is the work done on it?

<em>NO work is done on the ball.</em>

Its momentum changes, but its kinetic energy doesn't.

<u>Before it hits the wall:</u>

Momentum = m v = (10 kg) x (1.4 m/s) = +14 kg-m/s

Kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²) = (1/2)(10kg)(1.4)² = 9.8 Joules

<u>After it hits the wall:</u>

Momentum = m v = (10 kg) x (-1.4 m/s) = -14 kg-m/s

Kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²) = (1/2)(10kg)(-1.4)² = 9.8 Joules

No change in energy  ==>  no work done on the ball.

What are the effects of overpopulation on a specific species in an ecosystem?
bagirrra123 [75]

Tere would be too many so there would be more fighting. Thye could overpopulate the world and destroy our stuff for example if it is a pig they can easily destory crops. We would all have to go hunting. There would also be less food so that is why they would start going out and destroying stuff.

Ocean water conducts electrical current because it contains _____.
icang [17]
<span>Ocean water conducts electrical current because it contains electrolytes. Electrolytes are good conductors of electricity, and are naturally present in appropriate amounts in bodies of water. However, pure water (without electrolytes or metals) is not a conductor of electricity. </span>

4. Which of the following would be a good reference point to describe the motion of a dog?
saul85 [17]

ANOTHER RUNNING DOG

Explanation:

In the given question it is to find a suitable reference point to describe  the motion of dog. Here I could suggest that it is better to compare the dog with  another running dog to create the relative speed difference to get a reliable motion variation.

Because the motion of dog is in the linear with respect to the another dog and to the acceleration produced by the dog in the required interval is easy to calculate with respect to  another dog which is already in motion.

Hence, I suggest that Motion of dog can be analysed better by analyse the motion variation of dog with  another dog running.

How are kinetic energy potential energy and thermal energy in a substance related?​
asambeis [7]

The energy associated with an object's motion is called kinetic energy. ... This is also called thermal energy – the greater the thermal energy, the greater the kinetic energy of atomic motion, and vice versa.

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>
