Assuming that the stone is thrown vertically... let's say it's a 1 kg stone.It doesn't matter if it's thrown upwards or downwards as (assuming no air friction) it will pass the original throwing point with the same downwards velocity as it had upwards, 3 seconds previously. So it starts with 1/2 m v^2 = 0.5 * 1 * 15^2 = 112.5 J of keThen k.e. gained = gpe lostk.e. gained = m g h = 1 * 10 * 50 = 500 J of Ke gainedso the final (total) ke is 612.5 J which = 1/2 m v^2 = 0.5 v^2 here
so 0.5 v^2 = 612.5so     v^2    = 1225so v = 35 m/s

Carbon cycle is an example of a biogeochemical cycle. <span>The biogeochemical cycles move through mainly </span>the biotic and abiotic components of the earth<span>, more elaborately the spheres -biospheres, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere regions of the ecosystem. These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle. The purpose in these cycles are to maintain balance and to ensure the ongoing process of the living and non-living organisms in the environment. These cycles’ help to living organisms survive and thrive. One popular example is the water cycle. </span>

What happens to the pressure in all parts of a confined fluid if the pressure in one part is increased?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The pressure will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the confined fluid causing a general increase in pressure throughout the container.

Explanation:

This is in line with pascal's law of pressure which states that the pressure exerted on a given mass of fluid is transmitted undiminished to other parts of the fluid.
