General phyics question Does a wall exert a greater force on an object if it bounces or sticks?
Force can be defined as the derivative of momentum with respect to time or: dp/dt = d(mv)/dt
Since the mass stays the same, we can take that out:
m * dv/dt (It's worth noting that this is the derivation of the F=ma equation)
Now to answer your question, this depends on the amount of time the object is being pushed by the wall. If the time is equal, then the wall will apply a greater force on the ball if it bounces back because it has to change the ball's momentum by a greater amount to get it to move back towards the thrower.

Is when a sound wave bounces off an object and returns in the direction from which it came?
that isnt a question...? Perhaps the question was to be something like: "What is happening when a sound wave bounces off an object and returns in the direction from which it came?" Answer: The sound is echoing.
The more massive is an object and the smaller is its radius the greater or smaller is the escape velocity from it?
For two bodies with equal radius, the more massive has the greater escape velocity. For two bodies with equal mass, the one with smaller radius has the greater escape velocity. Both conditions listed in the question indicate greaterescape velocity.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
The greater the mass of an object the greater. is?
the force required to accelerate it, according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). This means that objects with larger mass require more force to achieve the same acceleration as objects with smaller mass.
Which has the greater amount the alcohol in an uncalibrated test tube or the salt solution in a vial?
[object Object]
What is it called when light bounces off a object?
When light bounces off an object, it is called reflection.
What happens when light bounces off an objects?
Reflection happens when light bounces of an object.
What occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces?
When a wave strikes an object and bounces off, it experiences reflection. The angle at which the wave hits the object is equal to the angle at which it bounces off, known as the law of reflection. The wave can either be absorbed by the object or reflected back, depending on the material and surface of the object.
What is it called when light bounces back from an object?
That is called reflection. When light hits a surface and bounces back, it forms an image of that object that we can see.
Does the temperature depend on how high a ball bounces outside?
This question does not specify the object you want to know the temperature of and so cannot be answered.
Who is fat and round and bounces of the ground?
A basketball is an object that is fat and round and bounces off the ground.
When light bounces of an object what is call?
it is the bouncing back of lights rays from surface. It is called reflection.
When a light bounces off an object?
the word is reject because it bounces off which is like I don't want you
How high an object bounces depends on?
the height from which it was dropped

Light bounces off of objects causing a?
reflection of that object, determining its color, texture, and appearance. The angle at which the light bounces off the object is determined by the surface properties of the object and the angle of the incident light. This process allows us to see and perceive the objects around us.
What is the best object that bounces light?
A mirror is the best object that bounces light as it reflects light at the same angle it hits the surface, resulting in a clear and complete reflection.
