Answer:
K.E = 100 J
Final P.E = 100 J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:
where,
K.E = Kinetic Energy
m = mass of ball = 2 kg
v = speed of ball
Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:
<u>K.E = 100 J</u>
Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:
Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E
Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.
K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E
<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>
B. At the equator
Explanation:
The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.
The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator (), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.
