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! :)

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

Calculate the angle of refraction of 30.0° light shines from water into ice. The indices of refraction for water and ice are 1.3
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The angle of refraction Ø2 equals 62.95° ≈ 63°

Explanation:

The relationship between the angles of incidence and

refraction , with respect to light or other waves passing through two different substances or media, such as glass, water or air is given by Snell's Law.

Snell's Law states that the when light travels from one medium to another, it generally refracts.

It is given by the mathematical expression;

[SinØ1°/SinØ2°] = [n2/n1]

Cross multiplying, we have;

n1 × SinØ1° = n2 × SinØ2°

where, n is the indices of refraction of each substance

Ø is the angle between the ray and the line normal to the surface.

Given the following values;

n1 = 1.36 n2 = 1.31 Ø1 = 30° Ø = ?

n1 × SinØ1° = n1 × SinØ2°

SinØ2° = [n1 × SinØ1°]/n2

substituting the values respectively;

SinØ2° = [1.36 × Sin30°]/1.31

SinØ2° = [1.36 × 0.5]/1.31

SinØ2° = 0.68 × 1.31

SinØ2° = 0.8906

Ø2° = Sin–¹(0.8906)

Ø2° = 62.95° ≈ 63°
