Answer:
mass determines the amount of force required to overcome the inertia of an object.
Answer:
W = 5586[J]
Explanation:
Work in physics is defined as the product of force by a distance.

where:
W = work [J]
F = force = m*g [N]
m = mass = 300 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
d = distance = 1.9 [m]
Now replacing:
![W=m*g*d\\W=300*9.81*1.9\\W=5586[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%3Dm%2Ag%2Ad%5C%5CW%3D300%2A9.81%2A1.9%5C%5CW%3D5586%5BJ%5D)
I think wind is anther answer
Explanation:
At the maximum height, the ball's velocity is 0.
v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)
(0 m/s)² = (12.3 m/s)² + 2(-9.80 m/s²)(x - 0 m)
x = 7.72 m
The ball reaches a maximum height of 7.72 m.
The times where the ball passes through half that height is:
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
(7.72 m / 2) = (0 m) + (12.3 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
3.86 = 12.3 t - 4.9 t²
4.9 t² - 12.3 t + 3.86 = 0
Using quadratic formula:
t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a
t = [ 12.3 ± √(12.3² - 4(4.9)(3.86)) ] / 9.8
t = 0.368, 2.14
The ball reaches half the maximum height after 0.368 seconds and after 2.14 seconds.
