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.

Newton's laws of motion are true on earth and space.
frez [133]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is a common misunderstanding that objects in space have no weight. If that were true, they would just float away from the Earth, the Sun and the other planets. Objects in low Earth orbit experience about 90% of the weight that they feel on the surface of the Earth.

Calculate the acceleration of an airplane that starts at rest and reaches a speed 45m/s in 9 seconds
sasho [114]

I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s

All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
