Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Hey there!

Potential energy and kinetic energy are the two main groups of energy when it comes to all of that. Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is released.

For example, potential energy is when you hold a ball higher than the ground, and kinetic energy is when you release the ball.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

Answer:

$u=(26.5 i + 18.5j) m/s$

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is given by the formula

$d=\frac{u^2}{g} sin 2\theta$

where in this case, we have

d = 100 m is the range

u is the initial speed (the magnitude of the initial velocity)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

$\theta = 35^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

Solving for u, we find:

$u=\sqrt{\frac{dg}{sin 2\theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(100)(9.8)}{sin(2\cdot 35^{\circ})}}=32.3 m/s$

Now we can easily find the components of the initial velocity:

$u_x = u cos \theta = (32.3)(cos 35^{\circ})=26.5 m/s\\u_y = u sin \theta = (32.3)(sin 35^{\circ})=18.5 m/s$

So, the initial velocity of the ball is

$u=(26.5 i + 18.5 j) m/s$

where i and j are the unit vector indicating the horizontal and vertical direction.

You are given the half life of an isoptope which is 5.2yr and the numer of days that it will decay which is 30 months. You are required to find the initial mass of the isotope.

An = A0*exptaveln2/t1/2
30 = A0 exp^(30/12 * ln2/5.2yr)
A0 = 21.5grams
