When the ball starts its motion from the ground, its potential energy is zero, so all its mechanical energy is kinetic energy of the motion:
E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the ball's mass and v its initial velocity, 20 m/s.

When the ball reaches its maximum height, h, its velocity is zero, so its mechanical energy is just gravitational potential energy:
E=mgh

for the law of conservation of energy, the initial mechanical energy must be equal to the final mechanical energy, so we have
\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh
From which we find the maximum height of the ball:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(20 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=20.4 m

Therefore, the answer is yes, the ball will reach the top of the tree.

Kinetic energy because of the wood plank is just still and not moving it’s potential but since it’s asking which one it doesn’t have it doesn’t have kinetic energy cause it’s not moving

In a large restaurant an average 60% customers ask for water with their meal. A random sample of 10 customers is selected. Find
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a)P(6)=0.25

b)p(x

c)p(x\geq3)=0.9878

d)\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population percentage p_\%=\60%

Sample size n=10

Let x =customers ask for water

Let y =customers dose not ask for water with their meal  

Generally the equation for y is mathematically given by

y=1-p_\%\\y=1-0.60\\y=0.40

Generally the equation for pmf p(x) is mathematically given by

P(x)=10C_x (0..6)^x(0.4)^{10-x}

a)

Generally the probability that exactly 6 ask for water is mathematically given by

P(x)6=10C_6 (0..6)^6(0.4)^{10-6}

P(6)=0.25

b)

Generally the probability that  less than 9 ask for water with meal  is mathematically given by

p(xg)

p(x

p(x

p(x

c)

Generally the probability that  at least 3 ask for water with meal  is mathematically given by

p(x\geq3)=1-p(x

p(x\geq3)=1-[p(0)+p(1)+p(2)]

p(x\geq3)=1-[0.00001+0.0015+0.0106]

p(x\geq3)=1-[0.0122]

p(x\geq3)=0.9878

d)

Generally the mean and standard deviation of sample size is mathematically given by

Mean

\=x=np=10(0.6)=6

Standard deviation

v(x)=npq=10(0.6)(0.4)=2.4

\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492
