Given:
m = 4 kg, the mass of the object
h = 5 m, distance fallen
Neglect air resistance.
The PE (potential energy) is
PE = mgh = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 m) = 196 J
The PE is converted into KE (kinetic energy) after the fall.
Therefore the PE decreased by 196 J ≈ 200 J
Answer: d. It has decreased by 200 J
Red has a longer wavelength than yellow
The basketballs and racquetball eventually stopped bouncing due to the first law. the first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. this means that once the 2 balls lose friction, they will remain at rest until acted upon by an external force. once the 2 balls lose friction(energy), they come to a complete stop.
