Answer:
If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:
Explanation:
PEg=mgh
so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The refractive index is 1.66
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum
.
Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium
So
RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66
Answer:
(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.
Explanation:
Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg
Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)
It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s (as it rebounds so positive)
(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
p = m(v-u)
p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))
p = 3.4 kg-m/s
(b) Impulse = change in momentum
Ft = 3.4
We have, t = 0.09 s

Hence, this is the required solution.
