Answer:

B.

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.

Two small children decide it would be fun to toss a couple of large cats at each other. Cat A (7kg) is thrown at 7m/s and cat B
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

V=4.7m/s

Explanations:

Let Ma mass of cat A=7kg

Va velocity of cat A=7m/s

Mb mass of cat b=6.1kg

VB velocity of cat b=2m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

MaVa+MbVb=(Ma+Mb)V

7*7+6.1*2=(7+6.1)V

61.2=13.1V

V=4.7m/s

Which item(s) would be sufficient to make a circuit?
masya89 [10]

Explanation :

A circuit is the representation of the path of the flow of current. The circuit can be either closed or open.

When the switch is off the circuit is closed circuit and when the switch is not connected the circuit is open.

The items that are sufficient to make a circuit are as follows :

  • Voltage source like a battery.
  • Resistors or electrical equipment like heater, motor etc.

Other components can be ammeter, voltmeter, ac source, variable resistors etc.
