Energy is the one that is stored in the ball when it drops. Just before it hits the ground, the energy depends on the mass of the ball and its velocity. When the ball hits, it is compressed and the energy is stored in the compression of the air in the ball and the elasticity of the material that the ball is made from. Some is also converted to heat. The stored energy in the ball causes a force to make the ball back into a round shape and this force presses against the propels and floor the ball back up. The small amount lost as heat is the reason that the ball bounces up with less energy than when it hit.

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with
Lisa [10]
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
                                     0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.

An 80-kg football player travels to the right at 8 m/s and a 120-kg player on the opposite team travels to the left at 4.0 m/s.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

m1(v1) + m2(v2)

Opposite turns the plus to subtraction.

80(8) - 120(4.0)

60 - 480 = 160 kg m/s to the right

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest ​
Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.

Energy is observed in two basic forms: potential and kinetic. Which of the following correctly matches these forms with a source
Travka [436]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Kinetic energy is the energy which is due to the motion of body.

Potential energy is the energy due to virtue of position of the object.

option A is not true because potential energy is due the position of the body

Option B should be the potential energy not kinetic energy.;

Option D is motion of individual molecule leads to kinetic energy not potential energy.

So, the correct answer is option is the covalent bonds of a sugar molecule is potential energy because of the position of bond.
