A ball is thrown up into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top
jenyasd209 [6]

The kinetic energy when it returns to its original height is 100 J

Solution:

The ball is thrown up with a Kinetic Energy K. E. = 0.5×m×v² = 100 J

Therefore the final height is given by

<u>u² = v² -2·g·s</u>

Where:

u = final velocity = 0

v = initial velocity

s = final height

Therefore v² = 2·g·s = 19.62·s

P.E = Potential Energy = m·g·s

Since v² = 2·g·s

Substituting the value of v² in the kinetic energy formula, we obtain

K. E. = 0.5×m×2·g·s = m·g·s = P.E. = 100 J

When the ball returns to the original height, we have

v² = u² + 2·g·s

Since u = 0 = initial velocity in this case we have

v² = 2·g·s and the Kinetic energy = 0.5·m·v²

Since m and s are the same then 0.5·m·v² = 100 J.

As the height of the ball increases the kinetic energy of the ball is converted into gravitational potential energy. This means that the kinetic energy of the bullet is reduced. When the ball reaches its maximum height, it momentarily comes to rest and the ball's kinetic energy is zero. When the ball hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because _____.
pickupchik [31]
In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because of friction. 
AMA (Actual mechanical advantage) is found by dividing output force by effort force. The actual mechanical advantage will always be less than the ideal mechanical advantage. The ideal mechanical advantage assumes perfect efficiency which doesn't account for friction, while actual mechanical advantage does. Therefore; the IMA is always greater than the actual mechanical advantage because all machines must overcome friction.

When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o
jekas [21]

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light

How does the input distance of a single fixed pulley compare to the out- put distance?
ololo11 [35]

A pulley is another sort of basic machine in the lever family. We may have utilized a pulley to lift things, for example, a banner on a flagpole.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The point in a fixed pulley resembles the support of a lever. The remainder of the pulley behaves like the fixed arm of a first-class lever, since it rotates around a point. The distance from the fulcrum is the equivalent on the two sides of a fixed pulley. A fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of one. Hence, a fixed pulley doesn't increase the force.

It essentially alters the direction of the force. A moveable pulley or a mix of pulleys can deliver a mechanical advantage of more than one. Moveable pulleys are appended to the item being moved. Fixed and moveable pulleys can be consolidated into a solitary unit to create a greater mechanical advantage.
