Answer:
Mass and velocity.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:
where 
is the mass of the object, and 
is its velocity at a given point in time.
So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:
- mass of the ball
- velocity of the ball before it hits the ground
With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.
The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':
Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)
and
Work = (force) x (distance) .
Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.
Power = (force x distance) / (time)
From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time. So we can use this one formula to find the force.
Power = (force x distance) / (time)
Multiply each side by (time): (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)
Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).
Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !
Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)
Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)
Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)
<em>Force = 9.975 Newtons</em>
Is that awesome or what !
As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. ... As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon's orbit lasts 27 1/2 days, but because the Earth keeps moving, it takes the Moon two extra days, 29 1/2, to come back to the same place in our sky.
