Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.
Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).
At the start:
ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J

Answer:
Matter is anything that has mass
Explanation:
The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.
The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.
Matter can be in three different states also:
- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move
- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other
- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other
It’s frequency is high and microwaves can pass through the atmosphere of the Earth.
