Answer:

a space station orbiting Earth

Explanation:

Kinetic energy in an object arises from the motion of the object.

$\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2$ is the kinetic energy of object.

(a) a person sitting on a couch while watching TV

The person is still and is not in motion and thus, do not exhibit any kinetic energy.

(b) an archer with a flexed bow

The archer hold the bow flexed. It may have a lot of potential energy but not kinetic energy as it is still.

a space station orbiting Earth

The space station is moving and is in motion and thus, exhibits kinetic energy.

The rock is on a mountain ledge . It may have a lot of potential energy but not kinetic energy as it is still.

(d) the high-energy phosphate bonds of a molecule of ATP

The bonds are still and is not in motion and thus, do not exhibit any kinetic energy.

A boy throws a ball straight up into the air. It reaches the highest point of its flight after 4 seconds.

Zanzabum

Answer:Take into account the the Earths gravity is 9.8 meters a second

Explanation:

Gravity pulls down on the ball at g=-9.81 m/s^2. Up is positive, down is negative.The ball started at a certain initial velocity of Vi m/s. Time it took is t=4s. Final velocity is Vf=0 m/s, because at the highest point the ball stops moving.

Vf=(g*t)+Vi

Rearrange for Vi.

Vi=Vf-(g*t)

Vi=0-(-9.81*4)=39.24 m/s (upward)

Think about it this way for the non-mathematical approach. The ball stops at the top. The initial velocity gets reduced by 9.81 m/s every second, and reaches 0 m/s at the top. It took 4 seconds, so 9.81*4 is equal to the initial upward velocity.
