Answer:

An example of kinetic energy due to gravity can be a ball held in the air (Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of it's motion.).

kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe a change caused by kinetic energy as well as a change that involves potential energy
kykrilka [37]
Kinetic energy is formed when the object is in motion.
Potential energy is the energy that is formed relative to others.

One of the example is Corn flour factory.

Corn turned into flour by a windmill that moved by the waterfall. Movement of the mill is relative to the power given by waterfall (potential energy) and the spinning crushes the corn into flour (kinetic energy)

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

10 m/s2

Explanation:

a = v- u/ t

=>a = 30-0 / 3

= 30/ 3

= 10m/s2
