A ball of mass 0.2 kg is dropped from a height of 10 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground?

(Assume there is no air resistance.) Acceleration due to gravity is g 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

19.6 J

Explanation:

Hello

The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in any isolated physical system remains unchanged over time, although this energy can be transformed into another form of energy,  in this case we initially have gravitational potential energy (due to height and gravity) and then it is transformed into kinetic energy (due to the movement)

E_{g} =mgh

where m is the mass , g the gravity and h the height

E_{k} =\frac{m*v^{2} }{2}

assuming that there is no air resistance the energy is conserved

E_{g} =E_{k} \\mgh = \frac{m*v^{2} }{2} \\\\

E_{g} =mgh = 0.2 kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } *10 m\\\\E_{g}=19.6 Joules\\ E_{g}=E_{k}=19.6 J\\

the energy it has right before it hits the ground is 19.6 J

I hope it helps.

What level of nitrates is considered clean water?
lana66690 [7]
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard for nitrate in drinking water is 10 milligrams of nitrate (measured as nitrogen) per liter of drinking water (mg/L). * Drinking water with levels of nitrate at or below 10 mg/L is considered safe for everyone.

A satellite is orbiting Earth in an approximately circular path. It completes one revolution each day (86,400 seconds). Its orbi
stira [4]
@AL2006 had answered this before: Well, first of all, wherever you got this question from has done 
a really poor job of question-writing.  There are a few assorted 
blunders in the question, both major and minor ones:

-- 22,500 is the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit in miles, not km.

-- That figure of 22,500 miles is its altitude above the surface, 
   not its radius from the center of the Earth. 

-- The orbital period of a synchronous satellite has to match 
    the period of the Earth's rotation, and that's NOT 24 hours.  
    It's about 3 minutes 56 seconds less ... about 86,164 seconds. 

Here's my solution to the question, using some of the wreckage 
as it's given, and correcting some of it.  If you turn in these answers
as homework, they'll be marked wrong, and you'll need to explain 
where they came from.  If that happens, well, serves ya right for
turning in somebody else's answers for homework.


The satellite is traveling a circle. The circle's radius is 26,200 miles
(not kilometers) from the center of the Earth, so its circumference 
is (2 pi) x (26,200 miles) = about 164,619 miles.

    Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

                             = (164,619 miles) / day
                                (264,929 km)

                             =      6,859 miles per hour
                                  (11,039 km) 

                           =          1.91 miles per second
                                      (3.07 km)

Which of the following changes would cause the fusion rate in the Sun’s core to increase? Check all that apply. View Available H
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. An increase in the core temperature

2. A decrease in the core radius.

Explanation:

The sun is a Main Sequence star. A Main Sequence star is powered by fusing hydrogen into Helium within its core.

For this fusion to take place, a temperature of at least 10 million Kelvin is required, beyond this point, the fusion rate is directly related to the core temperature. If the temperature increases, the fusion rate will greatly increase.

Something similar happens if the core reduces its radius. This can happen at the end of the star's lifetime, shortly before it becomes a red giant. Once the hydrogen is depleted, the core will start to shrink because the force of gravity, and as it gets smaller, gets more compressed, and its temperature increases. The outer layers of remaining Hydrogen that were outside the core now begin to heat up, and as the core continues to shrink, the star gets hot enough to begin the fusion process again, and the fusion rate can even be higher than it was during the first phase of the star, as the star becomes a Red Giant.
