Explanation:

Basaltic lava

Basaltic lava generally takes two distinct forms known by the Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa. Pahoehoe has a smooth wavy surface that resembles twisted rope. It advances by extruding molten toes of lava beneath a thin, flexible crust. As it travels pahoehoe lava often changes to blocky flows called aa.

A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its ve

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

(a) v = 5.42m/s

(b) vo = 4.64m/s

(d) Δy = 5.11*10^-3m

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of the ball before it hits the floor is given by:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$ (1)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

h: height where the ball falls down = 1.50m

$v=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(1.50m)}=5.42\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the ball is 5.42m/s

(b) To calculate the velocity of the ball, after it leaves the floor, you use the information of the maximum height reached by the ball after it leaves the floor.

You use the following formula:

$h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}$ (2)

vo: velocity of the ball where it starts its motion upward

You solve for vo and replace the values of the parameters:

$v_o=\sqrt{2gh_{max}}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(1.10m)}=4.64\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ball is 4.64m/s

(c) The acceleration is given by:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_o-v}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=\frac{4.64m/s-(-5.42m)/s}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=2874.285\frac{m}{s^2}$

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_o-v}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=\frac{4.64m/s-5.42m/s}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=-222.85\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration of the ball is 2874.28/s^2

(d) The compression of the ball is:

$\Deta y=\frac{v^2}{2(a)}=\frac{(5.42m/s)^2}{2(2874.28m/s^2)}=5.11*10^{-3}m$

THe compression of the ball when it strikes the floor is 5.11*10^-3m

Why do we see black? Is light being admitted reflected or absorbed or transmitted

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:When white light strikes an object, each individual frequency of light is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface molecules. If all frequencies are absorbed by the object, then it appears black. If all frequencies are reflected, then it appears white.
