Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.

100 Points!!!
Kaylis [27]

(1) The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be upside down and smaller than the object.

(2) When light rays reflect, they bounce back.

(3)  Images formed by a concave lens will look magnified.

(4) When light rays enter a different medium, they bend.

<h3>1.0 Object placed further from the lens than the focal point</h3>

The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be diminished and inverted.

Thus, the correct answer will be "upside down and smaller than the object".

<h3>2.0 What is reflection of light?</h3>

The ability of light to bounce back when it strike a hard surface is known as refection.

<h3>3.0 Image formed by concave lens</h3>

A concave lens is diverging lens is usually virtual, erect and magnified.

<h3>4.0 Refraction of light</h3>

The change in speed of light when it travels from medium to another medium is known as refraction. Refraction is also, the ability of light to bend around obstacles.

A proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.
