Answer:

Every object has a total energy which is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy:

E = Ek + Ep

Kinetic energy is, as the name suggests, the energy of moving. It is given through the equation:

Ek = m • v^2 / 2

From here, we can see that Ek depends on the object's velocity; if v=0, then Ek will also be zero.

Potential energy is the energy an object has on a certain height:

Ep = m • g • h

Obviously, if the height is zero, then the Ep=0 too.

Another important thing to note is that E is always constant; if Ek increases (or decreases), Ep will decrease (or increase) so that their sum will always be a constant value.

If the bowling ball sits at the top of the 40 meters tall building, it has no velocity, it doesn't move, but it is located on a certain height.  

That means that, at the top of the building, the bowling ball has no kinetic energy:

E = Ep + Ek

- no velocity ---> Ek =0

E = Ep = mgh

Ep = 2 kg • 9.81 m/s^2 • 40 m

E = Ep = approximately 785 J

To conclude, at the top of the building Ep > Ek.

Now, the ball is falling, and it's halfway down and it's travelling 19.8 m/s. Now, its kinetic energy is:

Ek = m • v^2 / 2

Ek = 2 • 19.8^2 / 2

Ek = approximately 392 J

Now, since the ball is halfway down, that means that its height is 20 meters. So, its Ep is:

Ep = mgh

Ep = 2•9.81•20

We already stated that total energy is constant and that is the sum of Ep and Ek and that it is around 785 J. We could also find Ep:

Ep = E - Ek

Ep = 785 - 392

Whichever way we use to calculate, we'll get the value of approximately 392 J.

That means that, halfway down, Ep=Ek.

Since the ball is halfway down, that means that its Ep is half the value it was while at the top of the building. The other half is used on the ball's velocity producing kinetic energy. That's why these two are equal at the halfway down.

Just before it hits the ground, the bowling ball has no height, meaning it has no potential energy. That also means that its total energy is equal to its kinetic energy:

E = Ep + Ek

Ep = 0

E = Ek

We already said that the ball's total energy was around 785J, so its kinetic energy just before it hits the ground will be that exact value.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a. the segmented body plan of the annelids

Explanation:

  • lophotrochozoan is a taxonomy of animals that includes annelids, bryozoans, and brachiopods.
  • This taxonomy of creatures was defined in 1995 as the last ancestor of the taxa of worms, mollusks, and annelids. Their classical definition depends on the topology of the spiral tree of life.
  • Annelids have a segmented body part wherein the external morphological features are repeated in every body segment. It allows the animal to become bigger and makes their movement more fat and efficient.

Neko [114]

1)Blood pressure 158/104

2)urinary output 20ml per hour

3)Reflexes 21

4)Platelet count 150,000

Answer: The correct answer is (2) urinary output 20ml per hour

Explanation:

Preeclampsia is a condition in pregnant women, or could develop after delievry, where her blood pressure rises significantly, >140/90 mmHg(recorded on two occasions,atleast 4 hours apart).Moreover urine test indicates protein in her urine(proteinuria), swelling particularly of hands,legs and feet(edema),severe headaches along with many other symtoms.

On the next hourly assessment,

• The client's BP was recorded as 158/104, which is almost the same as it was initially recorded,i.e 158/100, which means her BP did not rise significantly.

•The client's reflexes are normal

•The client's platelet count is normal too, although it is on a lower side(normal range is between 150,000-450,000)

•Decrease in urinary output(20ml/hr) is an indication of worsening of preeclampsia because this indicates there is decreased renal perfusion which may subsequently lead to decreased GFR(glomerular filtration rate).
