Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

where $m$ is the mass of the object, and $v$ is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

mass of the ball
velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

74.529 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

For first ball

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.9t^2\ m$

For second ball

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=50.96\times (t-2.6)+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (t-2.6)^2\\\Rightarrow s=25.48t-99.372+4.9t^2$

As the displacement is equal

$25.48t-99.372+4.9t^2=4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{99.372}{25.48}\\\Rightarrow t=3.9\ s$

$s=4.9\times 3.9^2=74.529\ m$

So, height of the building is 74.529 m

A 24 volt battery is connected to a 3Ω resistor and a 5Ω resistor in series. What is the current in the circuit?

Vladimir [108]

Answer: 3 Amperes

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 volts

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 5Ω

Total resistance = ?

Current, I = ?

Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

Rtotal = 3Ω + 5Ω = 8Ω

Now recall that voltage = current x resistance

i.e V = I x Rtotal

24volts = I x 8Ω

I = 24 volts / 8Ω

I = 3 amperes

Thus, there is 3 Amperes of current in the circuit

How do media literacy , information literacy and technology literacy and media and information literacy differ in terms of use?

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Media literacy creates a conscious awareness, the ability to understand, analyze, the messages various media like the newspapers, the radio, that is for the consumer, and it also promotes how best media create information for production.

While information literacy and technology literacy differs from other literacy asked in the question above, as information literacy and technology could be used when describing getting information through adequate research and further dishing out this available information so as to effectively use the information with the aim to solve problems, create awareness, or educate, through technologies such as for example, email.

Lastly, media and information literacy differ in terms of use from the other two explained above, as media and information literacy describes discerning information credibility, accuracy, and objectivity of sources they come from, and it shows people how important it is to have credible information to make informed judgments and the ethical use of the information they consume.

To calculate lobe lift, you need to know the _______ diameter and the lobe height

svetoff [14.1K]

The answer is the diameter of the cam shaft.

This is used to compute for the area of the circle so you can multiply it with the rocker ratio to get maximum amount of weight the valve can lift.
