Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

Contrast the atmosphere with the biosphere
4vir4ik [10]

The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. This sphere includes all of the microorganisms, plants, and animals of Earth. Within the biosphere, living things form ecological communities based on the physical surroundings of an area. These communities are referred to as biomes. Deserts, grasslands, and tropical rainforests are three of the many types of biomes that exist within the biosphere.

The atmosphere contains all the air in Earth's system. It extends from less than 1 m below the planet's surface to more than 10,000 km above the planet's surface. The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. It also absorbs and emits heat. When air temperature in the lower portion of this sphere changes, weather occurs. As air in the lower atmosphere is heated or cooled, it moves around the planet. The result can be as simple as a breeze or as complex as a tornado.

A tennis racquet swung with an angular velocity of 12 rad/s strikes a motionless ball at a distance of 0.5 m from the axis of ro
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact with the ball is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity of the  racquet, ω = 12 rad/s

distance of strike, r = 0.5 m

The linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact is given by;

V = ωr

V = (12)(0.5)

V = 6 m/s

Therefore, linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact with the ball is 6 m/s.

Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression
nevsk [136]

Average speed is defined as total distance moved in total interval of time

so it is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}

now here is we show distance by "d" and time by"t"

then we will have mathematical expression as follows

v = \frac{d}{t}
