The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground. It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.
It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.
More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.
When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.
Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs
Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction
now we know that
a=-9.81 m/s^2 ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)
we also know that
s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)
using kinetic equation

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial
hence


now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent


using quadratic formula

t=0.0409 sec
the answer for the part b will be the same
To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

where s=0.76-0.15
as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom


when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861
hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=0.0409
Science cannot be used to answer questions about Moral judgements
Answer:
B. Observation
Explanation:
Using a thermometer to read the temperature of a solution is tantamount to the making an observation.
Observation are recorded using our senses of sight, taste, earing, feeling etc or by the use of instrument.
- Through observation, data is usually collected to make inferences about an experiment.
- An observation leads to the formulation of a hypothesis which is scientific guess that leads to experimental designs.
- Conclusions are drawn from the information of data obtained from an experiment.
This question is poorly stated, but I assume you mean what conditions are needed. It would have to be cold outside, correct?
