A 20 kg ball is thrown into the air. It is going 5.0 m/s when thrown. How much potential energy will it have at the top

Physics

When the ball leaves your hand, it has kinetic energy.

              Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (20kg) (5 m/sec)²

                                     =  50 joules .

If the ball is not carrying solar panels or a jet engine, then it can
never have any MORE energy than that.  And if, as we always
assume, it doesn't suffer any air resistance, then it won't LOSE
any energy. It has 50 joules of energy, permanently or until it hits
something.

If you toss it straight up, then it keeps climbing until it runs out of
kinetic energy.  That is, its kinetic energy gets converted to potential
energy as it goes higher and slower.  At the top, where it stops
momentarily and has no kinetic energy at all, all the energy it has
is potential energy ... the entire 50 joules you gave it with your toss.

Which of the following describes the measure of current
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

b. The rate at which charge flows

Explanation:

First we must complete the question:

Which of the following describes the measure of current:

a. The quality of the charge flow

b.The rate at which charge flows

c. The ability for something to have a charge flow

d.The potential for a charge to flow

The answer is b) The rate at which charge flows

The electric current is the electric charge flow that passes through a conductive material for a certain period of time. It is expressed in C / s, culombios per second in the international system of units, and the unit is known as Ampere (a)

The charge can be defined by culombio [C]

When you are sitting in a car that is turning around a circle, you feel your body is being thrown outward. However, your physics
Degger [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle. However, our body is not attached to the car, it is only kept in the car. Therefore, when an external force acts on the car, inertia acts on the body due to the sense that it will try to remain in the same state.

Although the car takes the turn, but due to the inertia, the body will try to move forward; but since the seat belts are on, it is enforced to move with the car in a circular motion
