The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:

so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.
Answer:d
Explanation:
Alpha particles are heaviest among alpha, beta and gamma so they have least amount of Penetration compared to both.
Gamma Particles are lightest among three so they can Penetrate most .
The order of Penetration is given by
Alpha< Beta < Gamma
Answer:
1470kgm/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the rock = 50kg
Time taken for the free fall = 3s
Unknown:
Change in momentum = ?
Solution:
The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity
Momentum = mass x velocity
Initial momentum = 0, the velocity is 0
Final momentum = mass x final velocity
let us find the final velocity;
V = U + gt
V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
t is the time
V = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s
So;
Change in momentum = 50 x 29,4 = 1470kgm/s
I’m guessing it’s the last one, trough
