Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

According to third equation of motion, v

2

=u

2

+2ax

Here, u=0 m/s

a=−g and x=−h

Negative sign indicates downward direction. Displacement and acceleration both are downwards.

So,v=±

2(−g)(−h)

​

We take minus sign because it is downwards.

v=−

2gh

​

After bouncing. velocity becomes 80% of v, i.e.,

v

′

=+0.8

2gh

​

 

(positive sign because the direction of ball has reversed after bouncing and is upwards.

Applying third equation of motion again, for u=v

′

, v=0 and a=−g

v

2

=u

2

+2×a×x

Thus,

0=0.64(2gh)+2(−g)x

or

x=0.64h

Resistance increases with the length of the wire
Marta_Voda [28]
If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the
Serjik [45]
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
W=-\Delta U =  \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 -  \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so x_i=0. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until x_f is
W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

A brick in the shape of a cube with sides 10 cm has a density of 2500 kg/m^3. What is its weight? a.) 250 N
Arisa [49]

Answer:

c.) 25 N

Explanation:

 We find the volume of the brick, knowing that the volume of a cube is given by the formula:

l=0,1 metros \\V=l^{3}\\V=(0,1\: \: m)^{3}=0,001\: \: m^{3}

being l the side of the cube, which in this case is 10 cm or 0,1 m. Now we find the mass of the object, knowing the density and the Volume of the cube:

m=V*d\\m=(0,001 \:\:m^{3})(2500 \: \: \frac{Kg}{m^{3}})=2,5 \:\: Kg

We find the weight by multiplying the mass of the object with the gravity constant.

W=m*g=(2.5 \:Kg)*(9,81 \:m/s^{2} )=24,5 N\approx25\: N
