It is required to design a tennis ball for recreational use by settlers on Mars. The primary requirement is that the balls must pass the same 'bounce test' specified for tennis balls used on Earth. This requires that a ball dropped from a height of 254 cm onto concrete will bounce back to a height of 140 cm. The games will be played in a sealed gymnasium pressurised with standard air to 70 kPa. The balls are to have the same mass and diameter as those used on Earth, with modifications to account for the reduced gravity on Mars and the lower air pressure in the habitat. The height a ball recovers after a single bounce is believed to depend on the following parameters: Earth Drop height, L (m) Gravitational acceleration, g (m/s²) Internal pressure of ball above atmospheric (kPa) Diameter, D (m) Mass of ball, M (kg) Target bounce height, h (m) 2.54 9.8 83 0.067 0.057 0.14 Mars 2.54 3.71 ? 0.067 0.057 0.14 0 ms 2 ms 4 ms 3 ms a) Identify the dimensionless parameters which would control the bounce height under these assumptions. b) What pressure should the balls be filled to?

A circular log floating in water is neutrally buoyant. Our ancestors found that by having half a log with semi-circular cross section and hollowing out the interior, it became stable so that they could use it to migrate across oceans. The reasons for it to become stable are: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) It lowers the centre of gravity G so that it is below the centre of buoyancy B. It lowers the centre of gravity G so that it is below the metacentre M. It increases the metacentric radius BM. It enables the shifting of the centre of buoyancy B laterally to produce a restoring moment when it is tilted. (A) (B) (C) (D) (i) and (ii) (ii) and (iii) (iii) and (iv) (iv) and (i)
A child takes a helium balloon on a plane from Denver (with an air pressure of 0.83 atm) on a cool day when the temperature is 20.0oC to Boston (at sea level, with an air pressure of 1.0 atm) where the temperature is 5.0oC. Assume that no gas escapes from the balloon during the flight. What is the volume of the balloon in Boston, relative to its size in Denver? Group of answer choices The volume in Boston is 0.79 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.20 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.87 times the volume in Denver The volume in Boston is 1.3 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is the same as the volume in Denver.

A boxer delivers a hard blow to the chin of his opponent. The inertia of the boxer's hand (with glove) and forearm is 3.0 kg, and the inertia of the opponent's head is 6.5 kg. You learned in neurobiology class about 10 J of extra internal energy will render an opponent wobbly - kneed, and you guess that about half of the converted energy will end up in the opponent's head. Assuming a coefficient of restitution e = 0.20, with what speed does the boxer's fist have to contact the opponent's head in order to deliver the punch?
