What makes a golf ball bounce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

AnswerIt has to do with the material a golf ball is made out of. It is a extremely strong material. A golf ball needs to bounce high to be able to get hit by a golf club and fly through the air and hit the ground and bounce. Due to that information a golf ball will bounce highest compared to almost ANY other balls. A golf ball is the winner of bouncing the highest.

What make a basketball bounce higher helium or air?

Asked by Wiki User

Helium will make a basketball bounce higher because when it is put into the basketball the air particles move faster and faster causing the basketball to bounce higher.

You run a 100-yd dash in 9.8 seconds what is your speed in miles per hour?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About 25.5mph assuming my math is correct: 5280ft/330=16 16x9.68=2min35sec 60mph/2.6min=25.5mph

The above answer is incorrect. This would be true if it was a constant velocity, but because the runners are starting from a stop you need to factor in acceleration. But again we run into a problem because the acceleration is not constant so calculating the final velocity would be a bit tricky. A time of 9.68 the runner would probably be going close to 30mph.

Is acceleration speed?

Asked by Wiki User

NO, speed tastes better

Has a human ever run 30 mph?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usain Bolt is the fastest human, ever, winning many Olympic gold medals. His fastest speed was a little bit over 27 mph. So your answer is 'no'.

Of course, we know nothing of fast humans before they started timing sprints and recording the times.

What happens to gravitational potential energy as a roller coaster moves down hill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. As the car goes down the hill, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases. However, not all of the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Some of it is lost to heat and sound energy.

What is the largest man moving object?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the largest moving object is a train

I believe the largest man made moving object is a oil tanker called the Jahre Viking which has a dead weight of 564,763 tons and is so big it can't navigate through the English Channel, it carries a cargo close to its own weight. The longest man made moving object was train making a one off train journey in Australia consisting of 8 AC6000 locomotives pulled 682 wagons loaded with iron ore, the train weighed circa 100,000 ton and the cargo weighed about 80% of this weight. The train was 4.6 miles long

The largest manmade moving object on the earth is a oil and gas seismic survey vessel called the Ramform Viking and is produced by PetroGEO Services (PGS). And it collects more than 1.12 Terabytes of seismic survey data per day.

The surveyor with its 10 streamers at 120 m separation is more than a kilometer wide and more than 8 km long covering a surface area of 8.75 km2 at any time. Moving at a speed of 4.3 knots it is covering a total surface area of 215 km2 per day in full production. It represents the largest moving object on the face of the earth, bigger than any seismic spread ever deployed and bigger than anything else moving on land or at sea.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of specialization?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Specialization allows a person to become skilled and efficient at a specific task; he or she will then be able to produce much more of a good (or service) at a higher quality by himself than many other unskilled laborers attempting to do the same thing. This allows others to specialize in another task.

For example, one person could specialize in making a wheel, another in making the frame of a car, another the engine, etc.. By specialization they can efficiently do their individual tasks and together produce more cars than if they each attempted to create every part of the car by themselves.

Describe Legal and illegal immigration?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By definition, illegal immigration is migration of people across national borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destined country. The goal is generally upward mobility.

Illegal Immigration is common in areas such as the United States, Britain, France, and most of the well known Western world (Including Germany, to name a few)

Illegal Immigration is common include Japan, South Korea, and Australia.

Illegal Immigration often involves criminal syndicates. Russian & Italian Mafia in the Western World and the Chinese Triads are in main control in the Far East.

In the United States, the majority of illegal immigrations involve the Chinese Triads (Pacific), the Russian/Italian Mafia (East Coast), and Mexican Cartels (South)

What is the potential energy in joules of a 100 kg mass 10 meters above the ground?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Energy is given in Joules with is a Newton meter. A Newton is a kilogram meter squared per second squared. A 10 kg child has 98.1 Newtons which equals 98.1 Joules.

Compare potential and kinetic energy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference between potential and kinetic energy all comes down to a very simple property of the object. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy, or kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object and can be released under the right conditions.

What 2 things increase as kinetic energy increases?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally speed. But also, if the obect is for example travellin up, the potential energy also increases.

What device changes gravitational potential to kinetic energy?

The free fall of the object in gravitational field changes its gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy

When might kinetic energy turn into sound energy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you drop a rock and it hits the side walk it makes a sound. Kinetic energy transferred to sound energy.

Formulae to find velocity using pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

p=F/A,

where p=pressure,

f=force,

A=area

F=ma,

m=mass, a=acceleration

p=ma/A

a=v/t

p=(mv/t)/A

(pAt)/m=v

therefore,

v = (pAt)/m

Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.

How do weight and kinetic energy relate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ofcourse, actually, you have to have mass in order to calculate kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy = 0.5*m*v^2

Where m is the mass.

Where v is the velocity.

Mass is directly proportional to the kinetic energy, the more the mass, the more the kinetic energy.
