Answer:

The speed of the block before it strikes the floor is 0.217 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 1.5 kg

height above the ground through the block was released, h = 2.4 mm = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m

The speed of the block before it strikes the floor will be maximum.

Let the speed of the block before it strikes the floor = v

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to determine the speed of the block.

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂v² = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 2.4 x 10⁻³)

v = 0.217 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the block before it strikes the floor is 0.217 m/s.

Imagine you are holding an apple. a. Does this apple have energy? How do you know? b. How could you increase the potential energ
Len [333]
A).  The apple has thermal energy, because its temperature is higher
than absolute zero.
It also has chemical energy, because if I eat it, I get a burst of energy
and I become ambitious for a while.
It also has gravitational potential energy, because if I drop it on my foot,
it could bruise one of my piggies.

b).  I could increase its potential energy by lifting it higher, like over my head.

c).  As long as I'm just holding the apple, it doesn't have any kinetic energy. 
I could give it some kinetic energy by throwing it.
Or I could just drop it, and let gravity give it kinetic energy.

The particles in the atom that account for most of the mass of the atom are protons and
valkas [14]

Answer:

Neutrons

Explanation:

There are three particles that make up an atom, proton, neutron and electron. The mass of protons and neutrons is considered to be equal though in reality neutrons are heavier than protons; the mass of electrons is very less and ignored in the calculation of atomic mass.
