Do as physics instructor fred cauthen does and place a tennis ball close to and above the top of a basketball. drop the balls to

gether. if their vertical alignment nicely remains as they fall to the floor, you'll see that the tennis ball bounces unusually high. can you reconcile this with energy conservation?

Answer:

after shock

creating a system for the conservation of the energy of the basketball ball and creating a system for the tennis ball only, the conservation of energy should be applied to each system independently

Explanation:

When the two balls fall they acquire the same speed since they are accelerated by the same force, their weight and the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity. When reaching the floor the mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

Upon reaching the floor, the first ball (basketball) collides with the floor, this process is very fast, at the end of the process the basketball comes out with a velicad up and collides with the much lighter tennis ball that is still descending .

we assume that the shocks are elastic, when solving the momentary and kinetic energy findings, we find the velocities after each shock

     

In this clash the tennis ball acquires a high kinetic speed with an upward direction that makes a very high height high. Again this shock is very fast and the tennis ball almost does not move.

Here we must separate the system, creating a system for the conservation of the energy of the basketball ball and another system for the tennis ball only, the conservation of energy should be applied to each system independently

Em₀ =K = 1/2 m v²

                    Em_{f} = U = m g h

As in the elastic shock the final speed of the tennis ball is approximately 2 vo, we can calculate the maximum height

                 m g h = 1/2 m (2v₀)²

                 h = 2 v₀²/g

To reconcile this with the conservation of energy we must calculate the energy for the tennis ball at two points, the first when the crash with the tennis ball ends and at the end point at its maximum height.

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}

where B= magnetic field

           \mu _o= permeability of free space

           I= current in the long wire and

           r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Your friend says, “chemical changes are caused by an input in energy. In physical changes, there is no transfer of energy” is yo
nalin [4]

Answer:

Ok, let's suppose the simplest of the physical changes:

We have an object that is not moving (so it is not accelerated)

and there is change, now the object moves.

Because there was a change, means that there was an acceleration, and by the second Newton's law.

Force equals mass times acceleration:

F = m*a

There must be a force.

So suppose that you pushed the object, then some energy that you had, you transferred it to the object, that now is moving and now has kinetic energy.

Now, is kinda true that in a closed system the total energy is always constant, but it depends on what is our system.

So if we think in our system as you and the object, then in the whole system the energy does not change because the energy that you lost is now on the object, but again, there was a transfer of energy.

So no, your friend is not correct.

(1) A typical person has a surface area of about 2m^2 and a layer of fat about 1cm thick (It can vary from 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm) . E
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

1)H=714 Watts of energy is given out.

2)614.34 KCal energy is burnt in an hour in the room

3)In freezing conditions, 1337.09 KCal is spent in an hour.

Explanation:

The formula for thermal conductivity states that the rate of heat loss H is as follows:

H=\frac{KA (T_{1}-T_{2})}{x}   where,

K=Coefficient of thermal conductivity

A=Area of Cross Section

H=Rate of heat loss

x=Thickness of the material

T_{1}-T_{2}=Temperature difference between the two surfaces of the body in context

T_{1}=37°C ie. Body Temperature

T_{2}=20°C ie. Room Temperature

For first case, T_{1}-T_{2}=17°C or 17°F

K for fat= 0.21 Wm^{-1}K^{-1}

A=2m^{2}

x=0.01 m

H=\frac{0.21 * 2* 17}{0.01}

H=714 Watts of energy is given out.

2) Power×Time(in seconds) = Energy

Energy= 714 × 60 × 60=2570400 J

2570400 J=614.3403442 KCal

Therefore, 614.3403442 KCal energy is burnt in an hour.

3) Only the temperature difference becomes 37°C from 17°C , rest everything remains the same, therefore the energy will also vary due to the temperature factor and more energy will be spent as in freezing climate T_{2}=0 °C

E=\frac{614.34*37}{17}=1337.09 KCal

In freezing conditions, 1337.09 KCal is spent in an hour.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

(9/35) = 0.257

Explanation:

Box contains 9 new light bulbs and 6 used light bulbs, total number of bulbs = 15.

Probability of selecting two bulbs; a new light bulb and then, a used light bulb in that order = [(probability of selecting a new bulb) × (probability of selecting a used bulb from the rest)] = [(9/15) × (6/14)] = (9/35) = 0.257
