If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles. Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home). In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.
<span>Since there is no friction, conservation of energy gives change in energy is zero
Change in energy = 0
Change in KE + Change in PE = 0
1/2 x m x (vf^2 - vi^2) + m x g x (hf-hi) = 0
1/2 x (vf^2 - vi^2) + g x (hf-hi) = 0
(vf^2 - vi^2) = 2 x g x (hi - hf)
Since it starts from rest vi = 0
Vf = squareroot of (2 x g x (hi - hf))
For h1, no hf
Vf = squareroot of (2 x g x (hi - hf))
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x 30)
Vf = squareroot of 588.6
Vf = 24.26
For h2
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x (30 – 12))
Vf = squareroot of (9.81 x 36)
Vf = squareroot of 353.16
Vf = 18.79
For h3
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x (30 – 20))
Vf = squareroot of (20 x 9.81)
Vf = 18.79</span>

Electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as an output. It was discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor such as a wire that contains electric charges in a magnetic field
Answer:
Mass and velocity.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:
where is the mass of the object, and is its velocity at a given point in time.
So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:
- mass of the ball
- velocity of the ball before it hits the ground
With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.
