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.

A kayakeris paddling 2.50 m/s at an angle of 45° (northeast) and the current is moving 1.25 m/s at an angle of 315° (southeast).
PIT_PIT [208]

The kayaker has velocity vector

<em>v</em> = (2.50 m/s) (cos(45º) <em>i</em> + sin(45º) <em>j</em> )

<em>v</em> ≈ (1.77 m/s) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )

and the current has velocity vector

<em>w</em> = (1.25 m/s) (cos(315º) <em>i</em> + sin(315º) <em>j</em> )

<em>w</em> ≈ (0.884 m/s) (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> )

The kayaker's total velocity is the sum of these:

<em>v</em> + <em>w</em> ≈ (2.65 m/s) <em>i</em> + (0.884 m/s) <em>j</em>

That is, the kayaker has a velocity of about ||<em>v</em> + <em>w</em>|| ≈ 2.80 m/s in a direction <em>θ</em> such that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (0.884 m/s) / (2.65 m/s)   →   <em>θ</em> ≈ 18.4º

or about 18.4º north of east.

Jamison walks to a friends house. He walks 1000 meters north, then realizes he walked to far so he turns around and walks 200 me
olasank [31]

We will find that his average velocity is 1.11 m/s north-wise.

<h3>How to get the average velocity?</h3>

We define average velocity as the quotient between the displacement and the time it takes to make that displacement.

We know that he starts at the point 0m, where this measures distance in the north direction.

Then he moves 1000 meters north, so the new position is 1000m.

Then he moves 200 meters south, so the new position is:

1000m - 200m = 800m.

The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position (800m) and the initial position (0m).

D = 800m - 0m = 800m.

And we know that it takes 12 minutes to walk that distance. Because we want the average velocity in meters per second, we write:

12 minutes = 12*(60 seconds) = 720s

Then the average velocity is just:

AV = (800m)/(720s) = 1.11 m/s

And the direction of this average velocity is north-wise.
