We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation. This consists of transforming kinetic energy into potential energy or vice versa. For this specific case is the transformation of kinetic energy to potential energy.

We need to first identify all the input data, and establish a condition or a point where the potential energy is zero.

The point where the ball is thrown shall be taken as a reference point of potential energy.

$E_{p} = E_{k} \\where:\\E_{p}= potential energy [J]\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]$

m = mass of the ball = 300 [gr] = 0.3 [kg]

v = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

$E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} \\E_{k}= \frac{1}{2} * 0.3* (25)^{2} \\E_{k}= 93.75 [J]$

$93.75=m*g*h\\where:\\g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]\\h = elevation [m]\\replacing\\h=\frac{E_{k}}{m*g} \\h=\frac{93.75}{.3*9.81} \\h=31.85[m]$

Can the aurora australis be seen from space?

trasher [3.6K]

Yes it can be seen from space. If you go on NASA'S website you can get a bunch of info on how it looks from space
