Answer:

The answer to your question is at the point where it is thrown.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that possesses a body due to its motion. Its formula is

          Ke = 1/2 mv²

Then, the kinetic energy is maximum when the velocity is the highest, and this is at the point where it is thrown, after this point, the velocity will be diminished and at the highest point will be equal to zero.

Answer:

Explanation:

When a body is thrown upward, the body has it maximum velocity with the velocity of the throw and this velocity keep decreasing due to deceleration that is cause by acceleration due to gravity until it gets to the maximum height where the velocity is zero.

Since kinetic energy is determine by.

K.E = ½mv²

The mass of the body is constant all through.

Then, the maximum velocity is at the point of thrown, then the body has it maximum kinetic energy at the point of throw.

If we considered when it is landing too

It will have a maximum velocity at the point of throw again, where it lands on the hand.

The same kinetic energy will be recorded at the point of thrown and at the point it landed on his hands back.

This is why it has been recorded that, a straight bullet fired upward can kill someone at the point of return, because it will land at the same velocity it left the ground

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x  10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Use this formula to solve this problem:
Maslowich
Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work.  We have to know that.

             Work = (force) x (distance)

The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is

               Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)

                         =   4,500 newton-meters  =  4,500 joules .

Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us.  (Thank you.)

                Power = (work) / (time)

                            = (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)

                            450 joules/second  =  450 watts.

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

A stack of 55 business cards is 1.85 cm tall. Use this information to determine the thickness of one business
Sindrei [870]
To find the answer, take 55 and divide it by 1.85 to get the thickness of one card. In this case the answer would be 29.72973 cm. each.
