A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally away from and below the point of release. What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground?

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally away from and below the point of release.

What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground ?

The parameters given are:

Height H = 100m

Since the ball is thrown from a top of a building, initial velocity U = 0

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 2 × 9.8 × 100

V^2 = 200 × 9.8

V^2 = 1960

V = 44.27 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground is 44.3 m/s approximately

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.
