It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.
Answer:
Explanation:
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.
So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.
(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )
We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.
Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .
The sun is the primary source of light. Other artificial sources are light bulb, torch light and some others. Thats all i can think of.
