Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

$v_1=\sqrt{2gh}$

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

$J=m(v_2-v_1)$

$J=2m\sqrt{2gh}$

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.

Help with #3 please

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is va = 8 cm/s, vb = 12.5 cm/s, a = 9 cm/s²

Explanation:

Data

Ta = 0.125 s

Tb = 0.08 s

Δtab = 0.5 s

distance = 1 cm

Process

1.- Calculate va

va = 1/0.125 = 8 cm/s

vb = 1/0.08 = 12.5 cm/s

2.- Calculate Δv

Δv = 12.5 - 8

Δv = 4.5 cm/s

3.- Calculate acceleration

a = Δv / Δt

a = 4.5/0.5

a = 9 cm/s²

John’s mass is 95.6 kg, and Barbara’s is 55.3 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.9 m, while she is standing on the x a

Anna11 [10]

Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john $m_1=95.6 kg$

Mass of barbara $m_2=55.3 kg$

John is standing at $x=10.9 m$

Barbara is standing at $x=2.50 m$

$x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}$

$x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}$

$x_{com}=7.821 m$

Now if they change their Position then

$x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}$

$x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}$

$x'_{com}=5.578$

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of $2.243 m$ because heavier is shifted towards left

aniked [119]

The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.
