(a) The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.
(b) The work done in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.
<h3>
Kinetic energy of the projectile at maximum height</h3>
The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is calculated as follows;
K.E = ¹/₂mv₀ₓ²
where;
- m is mass of the projectile
- v₀ₓ is the initial horizontal component of the velocity at maximum height
<u>Note:</u> At maximum height the final vertical velocity is zero and the final horizontal velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity.
K.E = (0.5)(2)(30²)
K.E = 900 J
<h3>Work done in firing the projectile</h3>
Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the work done in firing the projectile is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the projectile.
W = K.E(i) = ¹/₂mv²
where;
- v is the resultant velocity
v = √(30² + 40²)
v = 50 m/s
W = (0.5)(2)(50²)
W = 2,500 J
Thus, the kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.
The work done in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

Where is the diagram? What is the question?
In a nuclear power plant, energy is released from the nuclei of atoms. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option. Huge amount of thermal energy is released by the breaking of the uranium atoms. This energy is used for turning a turbine that produces electricity. It is a very clean method of producing electricity.
Answer:
Net Force = 0
Explanation:
Causes objects to accelerate. Balanced Forces. Two equal forces push in opposite direction causing no change in motion causing net force = 0.
100000 Pascal
Explanation:
pressure= force/area
Max pressure= force/min area
so f=5
min area= 5×10^-5
5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal
