Energy and Work have the same unit of measurement which is Joules in SI units.

Explanation:

A Joule of Work is said to be done on an object when energy is transferred to that particular object.
If two objects are involved, when one object transfers energy onto the second, a joule of work is said to be done by the first object.
Work is also the application of force on an object over a distance. So Work = Force × Displacement
Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is in 2 forms - kinetic and potential.
Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object while potential energy is known as the energy that is stored within an object.
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²
Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
Both energy and work are measured in Joules.

4. Brandon throws a tennis ball vertically upward. The ball returns to the point of release after 4.0 s. What is the

vekshin1

Answer:

-39.2m/s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion;

v = u + at

Since the ball is thrown upward, the acceleration due to gravity acting on it will be negative, hence a = -g

v = u - gt

Since g = 9.8m/s²

t = 4.0s

u = 0m/s

v = 0 + (-9.8)(4)

v = -39.2m/s

Hence the speed of the ball before release is -39.2m/s

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$
