IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.

Potential energy =  (mass)  x   (gravity) x (height)

                           = (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)

                           =      29.4 kg-m²/s²  =  29.4 joules .

The conservation of energy says that energy in an isolated system remains constant, that it is not created nor destroyed but transforms from one form of energy to another. 
So when the ball is thrown into the air, it has kinetic energy (KE). As it goes into the air, that kinetic energy transforms into gravitational potential energy (GPE). The higher it gets, the more GPE it has and therefore the less KE it has. 
At the top, all of it is transformed into GPE and there is no KE.
But total energy at any point after the ball is thrown until it lands it has the same energy throughout. 

Knowing this, you can set the beginning KE equal to the final GPE. 
KE = GPE

Insert formula for GPE.

KE = mgh
KE = 0.15kg*9.8m/s^2*20.0m
KE = 29 J

The ball initially had 29 J of kinetic energy

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Time = t = 6.62 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 215 m

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 0 m/s

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time = t = ?

According to second equation of motion

                            h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero.

                                 h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

                                        t² = \frac{2h}{g}

                                         t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

                                         t = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(215) }{9.8} }

                                         t = 6.62 s

Find the equilibrant of two 10.0-N forces acting upon a body when the angle between the forces is 90° Solve graphically using a
bazaltina [42]

The equilibrant force of the two given forces is 14.14 N.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What is equilibrant force?</h3>
  • This is a single force that balances other given forces.

The given parameters:

  • First force, F₁ = 10 N
  • Second force, F₂ = 10 N
  • Angle between the forces, θ = 90⁰

The equilibrant force of the two given forces is calculated as follows;

F = \sqrt{F_1 ^2 + F_2 ^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(10)^2 + (10)^2} \\\\F = 14.14 \ N

Thus, the equilibrant force of the two given forces is 14.14 N.
