The correct answer to the question is D). At the top of its flight.

EXPLANATION:

When a  ball is thrown into air, the only force except air resistance that affects the motion of the ball is the force of gravity which pulls the body in vertically  downward direction.

When the ball was thrown, it has kinetic energy only. As the ball went up, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

Due to the gravity,the velocity of the ball is decreasing each time. At a certain time, the ball will reach at its maximum height where its velocity will be completely zero. At that time whole of its kinetic energy must have converted into potential energy due to the law of conservation of energy.

Hence, the kinetic energy is least at the top of its flight.

Your answer is

D.) At The Top Of Its Flight

because once something gets to the top, or let's say the peak of its journey, it has gathered the most energy


Hope this Helps! :)

I NEED HELP ON 2 QUESTIONS PLEASEEE
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding  collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.

Discuss the force that exists between the Earth and the moon by referring to the mass of each.
Fudgin [204]
The word gravity is used to describe the gravitational pull (force) an object experiences on or near the surface of a planet or moon. The gravitational force is a force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. Any object with mass exerts a gravitational force on any other object with mass.

Hope it answers your question!
