<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 8.62m

<h2>Why?</h2>

There are involved two types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy, in two different moments.

<h2>First moment:</h2>

Before the ball is thrown, where the potential energy is 0.

<h2>Second moment: </h2>

After the ball is thrown, at its maximum height, the Kinetic Energy turns to 0 (since at maximum height,the speed is equal to 0) and the PE turns to its max value.

Therefore,

E=PE+KE

Where:

PE=m.g.h

KE=\frac{1*m*v^{2}}{2}

<em>E</em> is the total energy

<em>PE</em> is the potential energy

<em>KE</em> is the kinetic energy

<em>m</em> is the mass of the object

<em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration

<em>h </em>is the reached height of the object

<em>v</em> is the velocity of the object

Since the total energy is always constant, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, we can write the following equation:

KE_{1}+PE_{1}=KE_{2}+PE_{2}

Remember, at the first moment the PE is equal to 0 since there is not height, and at the second moment, the KE is equal to 0 since the velocity at maximum height is 0.

\frac{1*m*v^{2}}{2}+m.g.(0)=\frac{1*m*0^{2}}{2}+m.g.h\\\frac{1*m*v_{1} ^{2}}{2}=m*g*h_{2}

So,

h_{2}=\frac{1*m*v_{1} ^{2}}{2*m*g}\\h_{2}=\frac{1*v_{1} ^{2}}{2g}=\frac{(\frac{13m}{s})^{2} }{2*\frac{9.8m}{s^{2}}}\\h_{2}=8.62m}

Hence,

The height at the second moment (maximum height) is 8.62m

Have a nice day!

What causes atoms to bond together<br> ?!?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

electrostatic attraction

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms when there's an electrostatic attraction between them. This attraction results from the properties and characteristics of the atoms' outermost electrons, which are known as valence electrons.
