The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground. It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.
It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.
More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.
When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.
Answer:
Answer: <u>Height</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>m</u>
Explanation:
At the highest point, it is called the maximum height.
• From third newton's equation of motion:
• At maximum height, v is zero
• u is initial speed
• g is -9.8 m/s²
• s is the height

Recall that:
Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity
Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.
Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):
<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?
</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:
1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong... But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.
