A ball is thrown up into the air. explain what happens to its potential and kinetic energies as it moves up and then back down

Physics

Initially when ball is thrown up in air, its kinetic energy goes on decreasing. This loss in kinetic energy changes in potential energy and it keeps on increasing. This potential energy becomes maximum at highest point of its motion. At this highest point, kinetic energy of ball becomes zero. Now while coming down,  potential energy goes on decreasing and this loss changes into kinetic energy. This kinetic energy keeps on increasing till it hits the ground or stopped by some external agent. Hope it helps.

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy and kinetic energy.

The girl's fastest speed is "3.7 m/s".

According to the law of conservation of energy, the girl will have the fastest speed at mean position, which will be calculated as follows:

Loss in Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy

mg\Delta h=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2g\Delta h}

where,

v = maximum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Δh = change in height = 1.3 m - 0.6 m = 0.7 m

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{2(9.81\ m/s^2)(0.7\ m)}

<u>v = 3.7 m/s</u>

<u></u>

What energy transformation takes place in a fire?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Chemical Energy To Thermal Energy

Explanation:

Fire is a chemical reaction. So, because of chemical reactions, the temperature raises to ignition temperature and results as fire. And then it releases photons(that generates heat after being hit by any other matter)
