A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten

tial energy equal to zero at ground level) and is moving upward with a kinetic energy of 50 joules. Air friction is negligible. The maximum height reached by the ball is most nearly

Answer: 20m

Explanation:

We will solve this question by applying the law of conservation of energy which states that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is always the same.

The PE is 0 at surface and maximum at top while the KE is maximum at surface and 0 at top.

From the question,

PE = mgh = 50 J -(1)

mg* 10 = 50

mg = 50/10

mg = 5

The total energy at that point = PE + KE = 50 + 50 = 100 J

Therefore, at topmost point, the PE will be 100 J

mgH = 100J , H is the needed height

Using the value of mg obtained above, we have

H= 100/5

H = 20 m

Robert Hook discovered cells when viewing a _____ under a microscope.
sp2606 [1]
<span>What you need to do while answering this questions, is ask yourself what has cells - only if a thing has cells can you see those cells under a microscope. Objects of animal and plant origin have cells, so blood, plant and cork (made of tree bark) can have cells, and a box too, if it's made of wood. So we can''t exclude any answers based on this. We must then know the story of Robert Hook - and it was in fact a cork. He did this discovery around 1655. At the time his main interest was the microscope rather than the cork, and he used to cork to demonstrate the function of the microscope. The correct answer is CORK.</span>

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the lizard average acceleration
VLD [36.1K]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

change in speed = (10 m/s) - (2 m/s)  =  8 m/s

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = (8/4) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 2 m/s²</em>

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?
kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease. 

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host.  A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work  which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.

If the focal length of a concave mirror is 18cm, find its radius of curvature.
Galina-37 [17]

Given :

The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.

To Find :

The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.

Solution :

We know,

\text{Focal length}=\dfrac{\text{Radius of curvature}}{2}\\\\F=\dfrac{R}{2}\\\\R = 18\times 2\ cm\\\\R = 36 \ cm

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.
