You and your best friend are bored on a saturday afternoon and decide to measure the impulse acting on a basketball when it boun

ces off the ground. the ball with a mass of m is dropped from rest at a height h. assume no fritcional forces are in play such that the ball bounces as a perfectly elastic colision.
derive an experession for the velocity of the ball jus before it collides with the ground.

Answer:

v = √(2gh)

Assuming g = 9.81m/s^2

v = √(19.62h)

Explanation:

Let v represent the speed of the ball just before it collide with the ground.

Applying the equation of motion;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Where;

v = final velocity

u = initial speed = 0 (starting from rest)

a = acceleration= g acceleration due to gravity

s = distance covered = h

So, substituting the values;

v^2 = 0^2 + 2gh

v^2 = 2gh

v = √(2gh)

Assuming g = 9.81m/s^2

v = √(19.62h)

Answer:

V = (19.62h)^0.5

Explanation:

We can apply the principle of conservation of momentum in this case.

The potential energy due to the height of fall is transformed into the kinetic energy of the ball as it falls.

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass of the ball,

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2,

h is the height of fall.

The kinetic energy of the ball = 1/2(mv^2)

Where c is the velocity of the ball.

Equating both energy,

mgh = 1/2(mv^2)

2gh = v^2

v = (2gh)^0.5 = (19.62h)^0.5

Or velocity V is equal to the square root of (19.62h)

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is $T_2 = 39^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are given

$T_1 = 98 F$

$T_2 = 39^oC$

$T_3 = 303 \ K$

Generally converting $T_3$ to Fahrenheit

$T_3' = (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = 86 F$

Converting $T_2$ to Fahrenheit

$T_2' = T_2 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' = 39 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' =102.2 F$

Now comparing the temperature in Fahrenheit we see that $T_2$ is the hottest

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh

lozanna [386]

Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

Compare green and orange light from the visible spectrum. You are currently in a labeling module. Turn off browse mode or quick

77julia77 [94]

Green: nm 495–570. Yellow: nm 570–590. 590–620 nm for orange. Red: 620-750 nm (400–484 THz frequency)

Solids' molecules are strongly attracted to one another. As a result, the molecules are barely moving and tightly packed. Because of this, shape and volume are fixed.

The forces of attraction and repulsion in liquids are comparable. Compared to the solid state, they move a little bit more. They then assume the shape of the container while still having a fixed capacity.

The attraction forces between the molecules in gases are quite weak. They move quite freely and grow in an effort to fill as much space as they can. Consequently, their volume and shape vary (adopt the shape of the container).

Two identical 9.10-g metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 300-mm strings attached to t

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

$n = 1.266\times 10^{12}$

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of sphere is 10 g

Angle between string and vertical axis is $\theta = 13 degree$

thickness of string 300 mm = 0.3 m

$sin\theta =\frac{2}{0.3 m}$

r =0.3 sin 13 = 0.067 m

$Fe = \frac{ kq_1 q-2}{d^2}$

$Fe = \frac{kq^2}{(2r)^2} = mg tan\theta$

$q^2 = mg tan\theta \frac{(2r)^2}{k}$

$= 0.0091 \times 9.8 tan13 \times \frac{(2\times 0.067)^2}{9\times 10^9}$

$q^2 = 4.10\times 10^{-14}$

$q = 2.026 \times 10^{-7} C$

q = ne

$n = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}}{2.02\times 10^{-7}}$

$n = 1.266\times 10^{12}$
