Answer:

The pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we can use the third equation of motion, $v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as$

whereas v represents the final velocity, u represents initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity and s is the displacement or distance an object traveled

Here, the initial velocity of the the ball is given as zero and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 , the distance 's' is given as 20 m

Using the equation, $v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 20 = 392\\v = \sqrt{392} = 19.7m/s$

Hence, the pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?

Lady_Fox [76]

This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.

What is the kinetic energy of a hammer that starts from rest and decreases its potential energy by 10 kJ?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

final kinetic energy of the hammer is 10 kJ

Explanation:

As we know that there is no non conservative force on the system

So here we can use the theory of mechanical energy conservation

So we will have

$\Delta K + \Delta U = 0$
