first object gors highest

second object goes lowest.

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.

natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

where $m$ is the mass of the object, and $v$ is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

mass of the ball
velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.

What occurs when the moon blocks the view of the sun

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

solar eclipse

Explanation:

because at that time, the moon completely covers the path and casts its shadow on earth because it is present between sun and earth's path. so, solar eclipse occurs.

hope it helps :)

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400

hichkok12 [17]

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(c) The beetle reaches a height of 2.1 m.

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s$

The launching speed of the beetle is <u>6.4 m/s</u>.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

$v=u+at$

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

$v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms$

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is <u>1.62 ms</u>.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m$

The beetle can jump to a height of <u>2.1 m</u>

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?

kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease.

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host. A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.
