The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, during the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.

Answer:

The work is -67.76 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is considered one of one of the fundamental laws of physics and states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. except when it is transformed into other types of energy.

This is summed up in the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in the universe, only transformed into other forms of energy.

In this case you must calculate the loss of kinetic energy. This loss is actually the work done against the resistive force in the air. Friction is the only force other than gravity that acts on the ball.

So, the loss of kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2} *m*(vf^{2} -vi^{2} )$
