Applying Newton's Third Law of Mortion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the average force exerted on a ball that rebounds after falling from a height of 30 m and reaching a height of 20 m. Participants emphasize the importance of showing attempts at solving the problem to receive assistance. The concept of impulse and change in momentum is highlighted as a key approach to the solution. There is also clarification regarding the application of Newton's Third Law of Motion, specifically the action-reaction principle, and the need to consider the force the ball exerts on the ground. Overall, the conversation centers on understanding the physics involved in the scenario presented.

Homework Statement



After falling from a rest from a height of 30 m, a .50 kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 20 m. If the contact between ball and ground lasted 2.0 ms, what average force was exerted on the ball?

Homework Equations



2.0ms=.002s

The Attempt at a Solution

Consider the total energy and direction (and change thereof) the ball has before and after the impact.
 
hello Rosieposy! Welcome to physics forums!

you need to show your attempt at solving the question, if you are stuck people here will help you.
 
Use impulse = change in momentum.
BTW how is this an application of Newton's Third Law of Motion. As I recall it was action reaction law. You are not considering the force exerted on the ground by the ball, are you?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
