Answer:
Mass and velocity.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:
where 
is the mass of the object, and 
is its velocity at a given point in time.
So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:
- mass of the ball
- velocity of the ball before it hits the ground
With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.
Coal and oil.... Fossil fuel is formed from decaying plants/animals who were buried and eventually converted to crude oil, gas by the exposure to heat and the pressure of the earths crust. This takes about 1 million years to happen.
A valve is a flap of tissue that prevents blood from flowing back
Answer:
160N/m
Explanation:
According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,
F = ke where
F is the applied force
k is the spring constant
e is the extension
From the formula k = F/e
Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.
The spring constant k = ma/e where
m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg
a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²
e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m
K = 0.4×8/0.02
K = 3.2/0.02
K = 160N/m
The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m
Answer:
Granite is durable, as it is hard and tough.
Gneiss has resistance to pressure and mechanical impacts
Explanation:
Granite is an igneous rock. It is mostly used in building works and construction because they are very durable. They are hard and tough and they have no internal structures.
Gneiss is used for flooring, ornamental stone, tombstones because of the fact that it shows resistances to pressure and also mechanical impacts.
<u>how they are formed in nature:</u>
In nature, granite is formed from the cooling down of hot molten magma and it's solidification before it reaches the surface of the earth.
In nature, gneiss is as a result of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks metamorphosing. Gneiss and granite are kind of similar. When subjected to great heat, granite becomes gneiss
