Jonas throws a ball up into the air. On its trip upward, the ball's velocity goes from 9.1 m/s to 0 m/s. On its trip downward, the ball's velocity goes from 0 m/s to -9.1 m/s. Did gravity do any work on the ball during the trip upward? Did gravity do any work on the trip downward? Justify your answer.

1) Yes, the work done by gravity during the trip upward is -41.405·m J

2) Yes, the work done by gravity on the ball during the trip downward = 41.405·m J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the ball on the way up = 9.1 m/s

The final velocity of the ball on the way up = 0 m/s

The initial velocity of the ball on its trip downward = 0 m/s

The final velocity of the ball on its trip downward = 9.1 m/s

1) The work done by gravity on the trip upward = The change in kinetic energy of the ball

The change in kinetic energy of the ball = 1/2 × m × 9.1² = -41.405·m J, given that the initial kinetic energy is 41.405·m J and the final kinetic energy is  J

Where;

m = The mass of the ball

Therefore, the work done by gravity during the trip upward = -41.405·m J

2) Similarly gravity does work on the ball during the trip downward = 41.405·m J.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
