The right option is; b. mechanical
Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.
Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.
Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object.
Since the object is at rest on the ground, its velocity is zero.
Since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity, kinetic energy of the ball on the ground is zero.
Answer:
C - Magnesium Chloride
Explanation:
The metal in a compounds name is always pronounced, and if the last element is a non-metal, the first half of the element is used and the last part is replaced with "ide"
The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.
The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
