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

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 780 miles per hour. How far can it travel in 4 hours?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

3136

Explanation:

because you multiply 780 by 4 because if it has a constant speed meaning it will not change speed then you multiply it by 4 because it says in 4 hours ( I hope this helped)

According to Ohm’s law, which combination of units is the same as the unit for resistance? volt ÷ ampere ampere × volt volt + am
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

volt ÷ ampere

Explanation:

The mathematical form of Ohms law is given by :

V = IR

Where V is voltage

I is current

R is resistance

R=\dfrac{V}{I}

The unit of voltage is volt and that of current is ampere

Unit of resistance :

R=\dfrac{\text{volt}}{\text{ampere}}

So, volt ÷ ampere is the same as the unit of resistance. Hence, the correct option is (a).
