PLZ HELP IM REALLY CONFUSED a boy is playing catch with his friend. He throws the ball straight up. When it leaves his hand, the

ball (2kg) is traveling 10m/s. Whats the ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand? What is the potential energy of the ball when it reaches the highest point

Answer:

K.E = 100 J

Final P.E = 100 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of ball = 2 kg

v = speed of ball

Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})(2\ kg)(10\ m/s)^{2}

<u>K.E = 100 J</u>

Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:

Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E

Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.

K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E

<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>

A student drops a ball from the top of a tall building; it takes 2.9 s for the ball to reach the ground.
AlexFokin [52]

<h2><u>We have</u>,</h2>

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 2.9s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = + 10 m/s² [Down]

<h2><u>To calculate</u>,</h2>

  • Final velocity (v)
  • Height (h)

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>,</u></h2>

→ v = u + gt

→ v = 0 + 10(2.9)

→ v = 29 m/s \qquad … ( Ans )

And,

→ h = ut + ½gt²

→ h = 0(2.9) + ½ × 10 × (2.9)²

→ h = 5 × 8.41

→ h = 42.05 m \qquad … ( Ans )

Which sequence shows all the spectral colors of the visible light arranged in a decreasing order of their wavelength?
Ad libitum [116K]

Correct answer choice is :


B) Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet


Explanation:


A spectral color is a color that is extracted in a natural human by a single wavelength of light in the apparent rainbow, or by a comparatively narrow band of wavelengths, also recognized as monochromatic light. The combination of colors provided when the light is separated by a prism. Spectrum an indexed order of the elements of an radiation or wave. Electromagnetic rainbow the complete wavelength spectrum of electromagnetic waves.
