A) 6.64 m/s downward

B) 0.026 s

C) -40.9 N

Explanation:

A)

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In fact, since the total mechanical energy of the ball must be conserved, this means that the initial gravitational potential energy of the ball before the fall is entirely converted into kinetic energy just before it reaches the floor.

So we can write:

PE=KE\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 0.160 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 2.25 m is the initial height of the ball

v is the final velocity of the ball before hitting the ground

Solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(2.25)}=6.64 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is downward.

B)

The motion of the ballduring the collision is a uniformly accelerated motion (= with constant acceleration), so the time of impact can be found by using a suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where:

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the displacement of the ball during the impact

t is the time

Here we have:

u = 6.64 m/s is the velocity of the ball before the impact

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity after the impact (assuming it comes to a stop)

s = 0.087 m is the displacement, as the ball compresses by 0.087 m

Therefore, the time of the impact is:

t=\frac{2s}{u+v}=\frac{2(0.087)}{0+6.64}=0.026 s

C)

The force exerted by the floor on the ball can be found using the equation:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{t}

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum of the ball

t is the time of the impact

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

So the equation can be rewritten as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

Here we have:

m = 0.160 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 6.64 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 0.026 s is the time of impact

Substituting, we find the force:

F=\frac{(0.160)(0-6.64)}{0.026}=-40.9 N

And the sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.

If a spring is stretched to twice the lengtj of its equilibrium position, by what factor does the energy stored in the spring ch
mylen [45]

Answer:

the energy increases 4 times

Explanation:

A spring has an elastic potential energy that is given by the expression

          K_e = ½ K (x-x₀)²

where x is the distance from the equilibrium point and k is the return constant

if the spring is stretched at  x-x₀ = 2x₀, the energy value

        K_e = ½ k (2x₀)²

        K_e = ½ k 4 x₀²

        K_e = 4 (½ k x₀²)

        \frac{K_e}{ \frac{1}{2} k x_o^2} = 4

therefore the energy increases 4 times

Recall that impulse = momentum (FAt = Ap and that Ap is just mx v). How long (time) must a group of people pull with a force of
elixir [45]

The time taken for the group of people to pull the car, giving it a velocity of 1.5 m/s is 3.75 s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity i.e

Momentum = mass × velocity

To answer the question given, we'll begin by calculating the change in momentum. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass = 1500 Kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 1.5 m/s

<h3>Change in momentum =? </h3>

Change in momentum = m(v – u)

Change in momentum = 1500 (1.5 – 0)

Change in momentum = 1500 × 1.5

<h3>Change in momentum = 2250 Kg•m/s</h3>

Finally, we shall determine the time

Change in momentum = 2250 Kg•m/s

Force (F) = 600 N

<h3>Time (t) =? </h3>

Impulse = Ft = change in momentum

FT = change in momentum

600 × t = 2250

Divide both side by 600

t = 2250 / 600

<h3>t = 3.75 s</h3>

Thus, the time required is 3.75 s

How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?
tester [92]
Question:
How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?

Answer:
<span>
Continental glaciers are thicker, much more expansive sheets. Mountain glaciers flow downhill as a result of gravity acting on the mass of ice. Continental glaciers move in response to pressure from the weight of material in their thick midsections.
