A 0.15-kg ball is thrown into the air and rises to a height of 20.0 m. How much kinetic energy did the ball initially have?

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

Answer:

i'm not sure if you are asking as a personal question or a book question so i'm taking it personal.

Explanation:

I was doing a simple task that was handed to me to test my responsibility and I agreed (knowing i am responsible :3). my first thought was "man , this is easy!" but then i started seeing the other kids slaking off and quiting their tasks. I thought that was against the rules, but then i saw my bff doing it too and i thought "this should be ok then!" so i did the same. other kids where still doing it. the teacher came, saw the ones still working and smiled... but when the teacher looked at the ones slaking off omg... his face was like * im gonna kill yall* we took one big gulp and whined. the teacher awarded the ones who completed the task... the others , we had to do our original task but doubled... for 3 weeks!!! it was awful!!!

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

0.125 C of charge flow out of a

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Resistance = 252.53 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Charge = 0.125 C

Voltage = 5 V

Time = 6.3 seconds

To find the resistance;

First of all, we would determine the current flowing through the battery;

Quantity of charge, Q = current * time

0.125 = current * 6.3

Current = 0.125/6.3

Current = 0.0198 A

Next, we find the resistance;

Resistance = voltage/current

Resistance = 5/0.0198

Resistance = 252.53 Ohms

A 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is $U_{s}$ = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is $U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}$ .

It is given that,

mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

g = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = $\frac{mgL}{2}$

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

T = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}$

where, I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = $\frac{mL^{2}}{3}$

Also, $\omega = \frac{\nu}{L}$

where, $\nu$ = speed of the tip of the rod

x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is $x_{o}$ = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

x' = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m

Then, x = $x' - x_{o}$

x = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m - 0.1 m

= 0.1236 m

k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}$

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

$\frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}$

v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.

Light passes through some solids

Explanation:

In gasses, there are many spaces between the molecules. These spaces allow light to pass through them without any interruption.

In pure water, there are some spaces between particles. these particles allow some light rays to pass theough, some to move through the common boundary and reflec5 some of them.

in solids, some allow light to pass through as they are transparent or translucent
