A 50.0 g projectile is fired upward at 300m/s and lands at 89m/s. How much mechanical energy is lost to air resistance?

This is the answer of your question

An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to move. 

When you go to ask a qustion there will be a picture of a paper clip looking thing and then it will pop up your files and you click on the imajes and then you up load it

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
