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.

please help me with my question I will like and mark as brainliest NO LINKS THEY DON'T WORK AND IF U DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER PLS D
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

a)

Weight in Air = 0.3N

Weight in Water = 0.25N

Weight in Liquid = 0.24N.

Upthrust /Buoyant Force = Weight in Air – Weight in Fluid(Water in this case)

= 0.3 – 0.25

= 0.5N.

b) R.D of Body = Density of Body/Density of Standard Fluid(Water).

There's a Derived Formula for RD.

I'm gonna Apply it here.

Ask me for the derivation in the Comment section if you need it.

RD = α/ρ = (Weight in Air) / (Upthrust Force)

Where

α = density of the Body(or reference substance)

ρ = density of standard fluid (water)

= 0.3/0.05 = 6.

c) RD of Liquid = (Density of Liquid) /(Density of standard Fluid(water)

Or we just go by that formula

RD of Liquid = Weight in Air/Upthrust(In Liquid)

We'll be using the Upthrust in that Liquid now.

= 0.3 – 0.24 = 0.06

RD = 0.3/0.06 = 5.
