cause a change in the object's velocity
Answer:
If air resistance is taken as negligible, then the ball is in freefall the moment it is thrown so gravity is the only force acting on the object. If air resistance is not negligible then gravity will be the greatest force acting on the ball while it is going up and coming down, because Fair has to be less than gravity at all times otherwise the atmosphere would wither away.
For a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of the mirror:

where f, for a concave mirror, is taken to be positive.
Re-arranging the formula we get:

and since the radius of curvature of the mirror in the problem is 24 cm, the focal length is
Answer:
5.886 J
Explanation:
Given:
The mass of the book is,
kg
Height of lift is,
m
Acceleration due to gravity is,
m/s²
Now, gain in gravitational potential energy is a function of change in position and is given as:

Here,
is the change in gravitational potential energy.
Plug in 0.5 kg for
, 9.81 for
and 1.2 for
. Solve for 

Therefore, the gain in gravitational energy of the book is 5.886 J.
