The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:

so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.
The statement can't be true. Objects with different masses held at the same height don't have the same gravitational potential energy.
Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal
So let say force applied if F
now its two components are given as


Now the normal force on the block is given as



now the friction force on the cart is given as



now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero
so now we have




so the force must be 199.2 N
Answer:
1,373.4 N
Explanation:
The mass of the table acts at the centre in addition to the books since that is the centre of gravity of the table.
Mass of books will be 10kg+20kg+30kg=60 kg
Total mass of table and books will be 500kg+60kg=560 kg
This mass is evenly distributed into the four legs hence 560kg/4 legs=140 kg per leg
Force is product of mass and acceleration due to gravity hence F=gm
Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then
F=140*9.81=1,373.4 N
Therefore, rhe normal force is equivalent to 1,373.4 N
I think it is either A or B. I’m mostly leaning towards B.
