It is possible because the rubber ball has mechanical energy which is equal to potential energy.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by the object, including the potential energy and the kinetic energy.

M.A = K.E + P.E

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position.

When kinetic energy (K.E) = 0

M.A = P.E

Thus, it is possible because the rubber ball has mechanical energy which is equal to potential energy.

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

$v^2-u^2=2ah$ , h is the maximum height and a = -g

$0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m$

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

What is the connection between angle of incidence and angle of reflection

Radda [10]

Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

if the time is taken to bring a ball to rest from a certain velocity 'v'. is reduced to half, what will be the change in the val

777dan777 [17]

The answer is C) rate of change of momentum. The answer is not initial or final momentum as the start and end points are not changing. On the other hand, the time it takes for the ball to change velocity is. This change relates to the change of momentum. Hope this helped :))
