Answer:

When the ball hits the ground, the velocity will be -34 m/s.

Explanation:

The height and velocity of the ball at any time can be calculated using the following equations:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the ball at time "t".

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity. (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time "t".

If we place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground, when the ball hits the ground its height will be 0. Then using the equation of height, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the ground:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 60 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = 60 m - 4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / -4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

Now, with this time, we can calculate the velocity of the ball when it reaches the ground:

v = v0 + g · t

v = 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s

v = -34 m/s

When the ball hits the ground, the velocity will be -34 m/s.

When grip strength increases:
Nitella [24]

Answer:

e. the number of active motor units increases.

Explanation:

There is a direct relationship between the number of active motor units and the grip strength in a given scenario. <em>For example, increase in the grip strength leads to increase in the number of active motor units. In the other-hand, the decrease in grip strength leads to the decrease in the number of active motor units.</em>

A bowling ball has an initial momentum of +30 kg m/s and hits a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the bowling ball le
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Momentum of the bowling pin is 17kgm/s

Explanation:

P(initial of ball)=+30 kg m/s

P(initial of pin)=0  because its velocity is 0

P initial = P final

30= P(ball) + P(pin)

30=13+P(pin)

P(final of pin)=+13 kg m/s and P(final of ball)= 30-13=17kgm/s
