A. when it reaches the top of its flight

potential energy increases as the height of the object does, and the highest point of a ball's flight is when it reaches the top.

Answer:

A.when it reaches the top of its flight

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth at which the object is located above the ground

Therefore, we see that the higher the object, the larger its potential energy: this means that the ball will have the greatest potential energy at the top of its trajectory.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l =  4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s

Let \omega is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>​
Lilit [14]
A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).
