Gravitational potential energy is equal to force times height. That's 30 x 2 = 60 Joules. It makes no difference how fast or how slow you do the lift.
Correct answer would be d
Answer:
X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2
Explanation:
We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.
We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:
X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2
X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.
We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.
X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2
0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4
2 * V0 = 19.6
V0 = 9.8 m/s
Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:
X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2
Given that:
Distance , s = 18.5 m
Velocity , v = 3.85 m/s
Time , t =?
Since,
Velocity = distance/time
or
Time= distance/velocity
time= 18.5/ 3.85
time= 4.8 s
So the time elapse between the release of the ball and the ball passing home plate is 4.8 seconds.
The answer is a. endothermic.
In endothermic reaction, as the name suggests, the reactants require energy absorption to form and complete the chemical reaction to form products.
And even if you don't know the answer, you can exclude all other answers by scientific logic and you will be left with the correct answer.
Hope this helps.
