80 meters A2 The equation that will give you the answer comes from either "conservation of mechanical energy" or from the study of kinematics. If you neglect air resistance the equation is; V = SquareRoot( 2gh) where h = 80 m (given) and g = 9.8 m/ss (acceleration due to gravity). V = SquareRoot( 2 x 9.8 x 80 ) = squareRoot( 1568) = 39.6 m/s Because of air resistance the speed will be a bit slower then 39.6 m/s but there is not enough information given to calculate this.

What type of energy does a ball have at the top of its arc?

The potential energy that gathered as the ball was ascending rapidly converts to kinectic energy as the ball falls downwards, at a rate of 9.801 meters/second squared.


From height of 8mts a ball fell down and each time it bounces half the distance backwhat will be the distance traveled?

The total distance traveled by the ball when it reaches the ground is 24 meters. The ball travels 8 meters as it falls, and then bounces back half the distance (4 meters) and continues this pattern until it reaches the ground.


Does gravity affect a soccer ball when it falls?

Yes, gravity affects a soccer ball when it falls. The force of gravity causes the ball to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration causes the ball to pick up speed as it falls.


What energy changes happen as a ball hits the ground?

When a ball hits the ground, the potential energy it had due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact, some of this kinetic energy is transferred into sound and heat energy through the compression of the ball and ground.


When Rae dropped a bowling ball from a height of 8 meters At which distance above the ground was the ball most likely moving at the greatest speed?

Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.

When a lacrosse ball is knocked loose is that called a fumble?

No, when a ball falls onto the ground in a lacrosse game it is referred to as a 'ground ball'.

Can a player running the ball touch the ball to the ground to steady himself without going down?

If the ball touches the ground, the runner is down. This is why 'the ground cannot cause a fumble.'


A ball is thrown horizontally at 20 meters from the top of a cliff 50 meters high How far from the base of the cliff does the ball strike the ground?

64 METERSA+


What is a ground ball in lacrosse?

A ground ball is when a player picks the ball up from the ground. The ball is often dropped and ground ball pickups are a vital skill to have. A ball thrown and intercepted by the opposing team is also considered a ground ball for the person intercepting the pass.


When you hold a ball above ground does it have kinetic energy?

Potential, changing to kinetic when you release it and it falls.


How to calculate the amount of time for a ball to reach 3 meters?

You need to know how fast the ball is going, and divide the speed by the distance, which is 3 meters.

Gravitational pull.
