A basketball of mass 0.608 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.37 m. It rebounds to a height of 0.626 m. (a) How much mechanical energy was lost during the collision with the floor?
(b) A basketball player dribbles the ball from a height of 1.37 m by exerting a constant downward force on it for a distance of 0.132 m. In dribbling, the player compensates for the mechanical energy lost during each bounce. If the ball now returns to a height of 1.37 m, what is the magnitude of the force?

Identify the forces that contribute to the centripetal force on the object in each of the following examples: a. a bicyclist moving around a flat, circular track b. a bicycle moving around a flat, circular track c. a racecar turning a corner on a steeply banked curve

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
