Answer:

velocity at the top: 0 m/s

acceleration at the top: -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Assuming up is positive and down is negative;

The velocity of the ball at the top of its path will be 0 m/s and the acceleration will be negative.

The velocity is 0 m/s because the ball does not move at the top of its path, and it switches from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. It must go through 0 in order to go from positive to negative.

The acceleration, however, is always negative no matter where the ball is in its motion. This negative acceleration causes the ball to slow down as it reaches the top, and speed up as it reaches the bottom.

Think about it: If there wasn't a negative acceleration, and it was instead 0, the ball would never come back down and instead keep going in a straight line.

eventually it will come back down?
i mean what goes up must come down!

How many electrons pass through a standard 60 watt light bulb in one second?

timofeeve [1]

A standard 60 W light bulb has a voltage of 130 volts. So, we use this conversion, the Faraday's constant which is equal to approximately 96,500 Coulombs per mole electron, and the Avogadro's number equal to 6.022×10²³ particles/mole . The solution is as follows:

W = Energy/time
60 W = x J/1 s
x = 60 J = 60 C·V

(60 C·V)*(1/130 V)*(1 mole e/96,500 C)*(6.022×10²³ electrons/mole electron)
= 2.88×10¹⁸ electrons

If you were trying to describe the difference between power and work you could say...?

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Look to the explanation

Explanation:

Work done is is the energy transferred to or from an object by means

of a force acting on the object.

Work is positive if energy transferred to the object, and work is

negative if energy transferred from the object.

Work = Force in the direction motion of object × its displacement
