Answer:

When a ball is thrown straight up into the air, all its initial kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy when it reaches its maximum height.

Explanation:

hope this helps

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.

What measurement do we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).

A child is riding a merry-go-round that is turning at 7.18 rpm. if the child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-
Alisiya [41]
First we need to convert the angular speed from rpm to rad/s. Keeping in mind that 
1 rev= 2 \pi rad
1 min = 60 s
the angular speed is
\omega = 7.18  \frac{rev}{min} \cdot  \frac{2 \pi}{60} = 0.75 rad/s

And so now we can calculate the tangential speed of the child, which is the angular speed times the distance of the child from the center of the motion:
v= \omega r = (0.75 rad/s)(4.65 m)=3.50 m/s

What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave
MAVERICK [17]
Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.

How do I ship a pringle in the mail without it breaking? This is a physics project.
vekshin1
Assuming you want it to be as small and lightweight as possible :

Cut a solid box roughly twice as big as the pringle. Put the pringle inside the box, and fill the remaining space with cotton, that will cushion the impacts. Be sure to apply the mention <em>FRAGILE</em> to the box, so that they'll take care of it properly.
