Answer:

The second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

From the edge of a roof you throw a snowball downward that strikes the ground with 100 J of kinetic energy. It is a case of conservation of energy.

At the highest point,

mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=mgh'+0          

100=mgh'

At lowest point,

mgh'=K

From above two equation, we get :

Kinetic energy, K = 100 J

So, the second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules. So, the correct option is (A).

The liquid pressure exerted in one direction only​
Wewaii [24]
The pressure exerted by a liquid on an object increases as we go more deep into the liquid and this pressure is called as hydro static pressure . if we consider a part of the static fluid then all the horizontal forces will cancel out while the vertical forces will add vectorilly and due to which a pressure difference is created . so as we go more deep the pressure increase .

Now pressure is a scalar so it does not depend on direction but when two objects are on the same level with respect to a reference level then the pressure exerted on them by fluid is always the same . hope this helps

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !
