A 0.50 kilogram ball is held at a height of 20 meters. What is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches halfway after bein

g released?

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>
</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 !

Which term describes the difference in electrical charge across a membrane? View Available Hint(s) Which term describes the diff
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Membrane potential

Explanation:

Membrane potential is describes the difference in electrical charge across a membrane.                                                                                                              

The difference in potential between exterior  and  interior of the  biological cell is known as Membrane potential.Generally it is denoted by  millivolts like mV and varies from -80 V to -40 V.

So the answer is Membrane potential

A 72 kg skydiver is descending on a parachute. His speed is still increasing at 1.2 m/s2. What are the magnitude and direction o
frozen [14]

Answer:

86.4 N downward

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).

The Expression of force is given as,

F = ma ................ Equation 1

Where F = force of the parachute harness, m = mass of the skydiver, a = acceleration of the skydiver.

Given: m = 72 kg, a = 1.2 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 72(1.2)

F = 86.4 N down ward.

Hence the force on the parachute harness = 86.4 N downward

Carbon bums in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide. Which chemical equation describes this reaction?
diamong [38]

B. carbon + oxygen -- carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The best equation that describes a reaction where carbon combines by burning in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide is:

    carbon + oxygen -- carbon dioxide

Every chemical reaction is made up of reactants and products

Reactants are the species on the left hand side of an equation, the products are those on the right hand side.

The reactants combines chemically to give produces.

The kind of reaction depicted above is a synthesis or combination reaction where two species combines to gives a product or more;

               C   +   O₂    →    CO₂

2. Explain what happened to the electrons in an ion with a charge of +1.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

An atom always has the same number of electrons as protons. Electrons have an electric charge of -1 and protons have an electric charge of +1. Therefore, the charges of an atom's electrons and protons “cancel out.” This explains why atoms are neutral in electric charge.
