Instant that it leaves his hand?

Force = 12.5 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 250 g to kilograms = 250/1000 = 0.25 kg

Acceleration = 50 m/s²

To find the force;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Making force the subject of formula, we have;

Substituting into the formula, we have

Force = 12.5 Newton

answer: the potential energy decreases from 379 j to 243 j

explanation:

for the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a system must be conserved. the total energy of the system is given by the sum of kinetic (k) and potential (u) energy:

e = k + u

the total energy is e=675 j, and this does not change.

initially, the kinetic energy is k=296 j, so the potential energy is

at the end, the kinetic energy is k=432 j, so the potential energy is

so, we see that the potential energy has decreased from 379 j to 243 j.
