The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The potential energy of a body or object is due to its position. The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the highest point.

U = mgh

Where,

U - potential energy

m - mass

g - gravitation acceleration

h - height

Since the mass and gravitation acceleration is constant hence potential energy will be directly proportional to the height of the ball.

Therefore, the ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight.

astra-53 [7]

When an object does not move even on pushing , static frictional force acts on in opposite direction of the applied force to stop the object from moving. static frictional force is a self adjusting force and it adjust its value according to the applied force if the applied force is smaller than the maximum value of static frictional force. The object starts moving once the applied force on it becomes greater than the maximum static frictional force.  hence the statement is true.

Solution: From the given question, we shall find the vector quantity among the

(A) Time , (B) Velocity, (C) Distance , (D) Speed

Concept: <u>Vector Quantity: </u>All those physical quantities which have magnitude as well as specific directions, are called Vector Quantities.

Here, Time, Distance and Speed have only magnitude but have no directions so they will be scalar quantities.

Now, <u>Velocity:</u> It is defined as the change in displacement per unit time. Since the change in the displacement will be in particular direction only. Hence, velocity will be the vector quantity.

Hence, the option (B) Velocity will be the correct option.

A child on a bridge throws a rock straight down to the water below. The point where the child released the rock is 82 m above th
eimsori [14]

Answer:

40 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the fall, h = 82 m

time taken to fall, t = 1.3 s

rock velocity, v = ?

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

rock is released initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 82

v² = 1607.2

v = 40 m/s

hence, rock's velocity is equal to 40 m/s
