A ball with a mass of 0.5 kilograms is lifted to a height of 2.0 meters and dropped. It bounces back to a height of 1.8 meters. The energy of the ball has been reduced by joules after bouncing back. This reduction happens because potential energy transforms to energy. Hint: Use PE = m × g × h where g = 9.8 m/s2.

Which of the following is the phase that results when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun? a. quarter moon b. crescent moon c. new moon d. full moon

Asolid round steel rod 6.25 mm in diameter and 375 mm long is rigidly bonded to the end of solid square brass rod 25 mm on a side and 300 mm long. the geometric axes of the bare are along the same line. an axial tensile force of 5.4 kn is applied at the extreme ends of the assembly. for steel e = 200 gpa and for brass e = 90 gpa. determine the total elongation for the assembly.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
