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

When released , what is the kinetic energy of the 1c charge of the preceding problem if it flies past its starting position?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
A) When a charge is moved in an electric field the work done (W) is calculated as charge*(change in potential). We can write W = q*V or V = W/q = 10/1 = 10V . This voltage is a difference in electric potential between 2 points within the field. If the charge is positive, and positive work is done upon it, then the final position is more positive than the original one. 

<span>b) If a charge (Q) is released from rest and falls through a potential difference V, then its gain in energy (KE if no other force acts on the charged body) is q*V = 10J. This is the same as the work done in moving the charge to its new position in part (a), and is an example of the conservation of energy.</span>

Suppose you dissolve 12.8 g of one substance in 11 g of another. Is this reasonable? Explain
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

No, its not reasonable.

Explanation:

The substance that is to be dissolved is known as solute. The substance that is dissolving is known as solvent.

The amount of solvent  in the mixture should be greater than that of solute.

Suppose we are taking a solvent in a beaker and we are continuously adding solute in it. Initially the solute dissolve quickly. At some point the solute stops dissolving in the solvent. This is known as saturation point of the solvent. After saturation point if solute is added further it does not dissolve in the solvent.

So, its not possible to dissolve 12.8 g of one substance in 11 g of another.

A small but bright light is at the bottom of a pool 2.2 m  deep. How wide is the circle of light that exits the surface of the
mixas84 [53]

Answer: 1.65m

Explanation:

Refractive index in terms of the depth of liquid is the ratio of the real depth to the apparent depth of the liquid i.e Refractive index =Real depth/apparent depth

Refractive index of water given = 1.33

Real depth is the measure of how deep is the liquid while apparent depth is the depth at the surface of the liquid.

Real depth = 2.2m

Apparent depth =?

Applying the formula above

Apparent depth =Real depth/refractive index

= 2.2/1.33

= 1.65m

Therefore, the circle of light that exits the surface of the water when that light shines in the middle of the night is 1.65m wide

2. A body is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 100 m/s.The time taken to be
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

b. 20 sec

Explanation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ g t²

0 = 0 + (100) t + ½ (-10) t²

0 = 100t − 5t²

0 = t (100 − 5t)

t = 0, t = 20

The body lands after 20 seconds.
