If there is no air resistance, then NO energy is 'lost'.

At the height of 4 meters above the ground, the ball has

                    (weight) x (height) 
                =    (1.5 N) x (4 m) 

                =         6 joules

of gravitational potential energy, relative to the ground.

If it's dropped, then the potential energy it has gets converted
to kinetic energy all the way down. 

Just before it hits the ground, it has no more potential energy,
but it has 6 joules of kinetic energy.

No energy is lost.  It just changes from potential to kinetic.
Both of them are forms of mechanical energy.

As this mechanical energy is associated with height, it would be "Potential Energy" in particular.

U = mgh
U = F.h
U = 1.5 * 4
U = 6 Joules

So, 6 J of energy is lost before it hits the ground.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Cerebral palsy

Explanation:

Cerebral palsy - it is referred to that disorder which is related to damages that caused permanent disorder in the functioning of body parts.  it affects the proper functioning of muscles thus cause the coordination problem.

it is caused due to abnormalities in the brain that result in the coordination of the body. As it is related to abnormalities in the brain thus it also causes a problem in vision, speaking, hearing, etc

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 730 m/h at a heading of 44.3 ◦ . The velo
Goshia [24]

Answer:

So airplane will be 1324.9453 m apart after 2.9 hour

Explanation:

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is  = 83 - 44.3 = 83-44.3=38.7^{\circ}

Distance traveled by first plane = 730×2.9 = 2117 m

And distance traveled by second plane = 590×2.9 = 1711 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 38.7.

Using the law of cosine, d^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

d^2=2117^2 + 1711^2 -2\times (2117)\times (1711)cos(38.7)=1755480.2482

d = 1324.9453 m
