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)

In the diagrams, the solid green line represents Earth’s rotational axis and the dashed red line represents the magnetic field a
katovenus [111]

Explanation:

Though the diagram that is mentioned in the questions is not given. I have given general information related to the Earth's magnetic axis with respect to geographic/rotational axis.

Axis is an imaginary line around which a body rotates. The rotational axis of the Earth enters into and exits from the Earth at two points namely: North and South pole.

We know that the Earth behaves like a huge bar magnet so just like the bar magnet it must also have magnetic axis and poles. Earth has north magnetic pole and south magnetic pole. It has a strong magnetic field as well known as magnetosphere.

The interesting point about magnetic axis is that it is not same as rotational axis. In fact it makes an angle with the rotational axis. This is known as magnetic inclination. This inclination varies at different points on Earth.

Another interesting point is that the geographic and magnetic poles are opposite. That means near the geographic north pole we have the magnetic south pole and vice versa.

How does the thickness of the lens affects its focal length plz ans this i will mark as brainliest
Oksanka [162]

Hello! :)

The focal length of the lens tells you how far away from the lens a focused image is created, if light rays approaching the lens are parallel. A lens with more “bending power” has a shorter focal length, because it alters the path of the light rays more effectively than a weaker lens. Most of the time, you can treat a lens as being thin and ignore any effects from the thickness, because the thickness of the lens is much less than the focal length. But for thicker lenses, how thick they are does make a difference, and in general, results in a shorter focal length.

Hope I helped and didn’t answer too late!

Good luck and stay COOL!
