Aball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 40 m/s. how high is the ball above the ground when it stops

80m

Explanation:

According to the equation of motion, v²= u²+2as

Where v is the final velocity of the body at maximum height= 0m/s

u is the initial velocity of the body = 40m/s

a = -g (negative acceleration due to gravity since the object is thrown upward) = -10m/s²

S = H = the height of the ball above the ground

Substituting the values into the equation given, we will have;

0² = 40²-2(10)H

0 = 1600-20H

-1600 = -20H

H = -1600/-20

H = 80m

The height of the ball above the ground where it stops will be 80m

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
