<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!

When an elevator is accelerating downward, the normal force is equal to mg-ma (hence you feel a little lighter when accelerating downwards)

Therefore, the upward force of the elevator floor on the person must be less than 750N

katovenus [111]

Answer: ​Wernicke's aphasia

Explanation:

John recently suffered a blow to his head. Since then, he finds it difficult to comprehend what others say to him. He also finds it difficult to express his thoughts and cannot seem to find the right words to say while speaking. However, he can speak freely with proper syntax. In this scenario, John is most likely suffering from Wernicke's aphasia.

Wernicke's aphasia occurs when the leftward side of the middle of the brain is damaged or has been altered. An individual who suffers from Wernicke's aphasia will have difficulty in speaking in meaningful and coherent sentences or may have difficulty in understanding the speech of others.

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball with a force of 1.8 N. If the mass of the ball is .43 kg. How fast will the ball accelerate?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is 4.18 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

By Newton's second law we can find the acceleration of the ball

F = m*a\\where:\\F = force applied [N] or [kg*m/s^2]\\m = mass of the ball [kg]\\a = acceleration [m/s^s]

Now we have:

a = F/m\\a = \frac{1.8 [kg*m/s^s]}{0.43[kg]} \\a = 4.18 [kg]
