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)

Answer:

Light

Explanation:

The way a concave mirror works is that since it's concave, the light bounces off of each other. a convex mirror, it curved the opposite, and the mirror has no way to bounce off of itself.

A Perspex container has a 6 cm square base and contains
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) V = 252 cm³

b) Vs = 72 cm³

Explanation:

a)

The volume of the water can be given by the following formula:

Volume\ of\ Water = V = (Base\ Area)(Height)\\V = (Length)^2(Height)\\V = (6\ cm)^2(7\ cm)\\

<u>V = 252 cm³</u>

<u></u>

b)

The volume of stone can be given by the change in volume of the water when the stone is dipped into it.

Volume\ of\ Stone = Vs = (Length)^2(Change\ in\ Height\ of\ Water)\\Vs = (6\ cm)^2(9\ cm - 7\ cm)\\

<u>Vs = 72 cm³</u>

The correct answer is:
<span>C: in the protons and neutrons of an atom

In fact, the nuclear energy refers to the binding energy of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) of an atom. The protons and the neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear interaction, one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and the energy associated to this interaction is called nuclear energy.
