While the ball is held 20 meters above the floor,

                                   Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) x (height) =

                                                        (0.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m) =  98 joules.

When it's dropped and reaches 1/2 of its initial height, it has half as much
potential energy.  The rest has turned into kinetic energy  =  <em>49 joules.

</em>
============================================================<em>

Want to know what else you can figure out ?  Watch this . . . 

                                                 <u> Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²</u>

                                                          49 joules = (1/2) x (0.5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by (0.25 kg):       49 joules / 0.25 kg = speed²

Take the square root of each side:        7/0.5 = speed = <em><u>14 meters per second</u></em>

That's the speed of the ball after falling 10 meters ! 
How cool is that !

sammy [17]

Answer:

1)  Q ’= 8 Q ,  2)    q ’= 16 q ,  3)   r ’= ¾ r

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Coulomb's law

      F = k q Q / r²

It asks us to calculate the change of any of the parameters so that the force is always F

Original values

                q, Q, r

Scenario 1

      q ’= 2q

       r ’= 4r

     F = k q ’Q’ / r’²

we substitute

     F = k 2q Q ’/ (4r)²

     F = k 2q Q '/ 16r²

we substitute the value of F

      k q Q / r² = k q Q '/ 8r²

       Q ’= 8 Q

Scenario 2

       Q ’= Q

       r ’= 4r

we substitute

      F = k q ’Q / 16r²

      k q Q / r² = k q’ Q / 16 r²

      q ’= 16 q

Scenario 3

      q ’= 3/2 q

      Q ’= ⅜ Q

we substitute

        k q Q r² = k (3/2 q) (⅜ Q) / r’²

        r’² = 9/16 r²

        r ’= ¾ r

Psi communication refers to the transfer of information through a/an ________ process.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

unknown

Explanation:

Psi communication: The term "Psi communication" was initially originated in an article named 'Mass Communication and Para-Social Interaction' during 1956 by Donald Horton, and is also denoted as "parasocial interaction". It is described as a phenomenon that involves "one-sided interaction" between people, encompassing the viewer knowing a specific celebrity well whereas the viewer himself or herself is being completely unknown for the celebrity in return.

In the question above, the given statement represents that the Psi communication is responsible for transforming via an unknown process as one of its members are considered as unknown of the transfer, so the correct answer would be "unknown process".
