Answer:

Explanation:

The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.

A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.

The dry adiabatic rate of change for unsaturated air is 10°c/1000 m. what does this mean

brilliants [131]

Adiabatic rate is used to describe the change in temperature as a result of the rising or the sinking of an air parcel.

Knowing that the dry adiabatic rate of change for unsaturated air is 10°C/1000 m means that the temperature of the unsaturated air parcel would increase (get warmer) as the air parcel sinks and will decrease (get cooler) as the air parcel rises.

Hope this helps :)

Suppose students experiment with the tube and a variety of darts. Some darts have higher masses than others but are the same aer

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The dart with the small mass will travel the farthest distance.

Explanation:

Acceleration is proportional to force times mass, and inertia is proportional to mass. Inertia is the reluctance of a moving body to stop, and a stationary body to start moving (inertia increses with mass). Assuming they both have the same aerodynamic design, and that they are both launched with the same force applied for the same time duration, the dart with less small mass will accelerate faster than the big mass dart. From this we can see that the small dart will have covered a longer distance before the effect of the force stops, when compared to the more massive dart.

How does acceleration values differ mathematically from deceleration values?

Serggg [28]

If a problem says the acceleration is some positive value than solve using that value, a negative acceleration is said to be deceleration. E.g. a car decelerating at 10 m/sec can be said to be accelerating at -10 m/sec.

If a problem states decelerates at A, then use -A for acceleration in the classic equations which are for acceleration. If a problem says accelerates at a negative value like -A the use -A as the value for acceleration, it can also be said to be decelerating at A.
