Question

After the ball was caught, what was the Kinetic energy ?What was the kinetic energy converted into? previous info:P.E = 60J before it was caughtK.E = 75 J before it was caught

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic energy after the ball was caught = 0 J

The kinetic energy was converted into potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball was caught when the ball was at maximum height

Note that:

At maximum height, velocity, v = 0 m/s

The kinetic energy is given by the formula:

`KE=(1)/(2)mv^2`

Substitute m = 1.5 kg and v = 0 m/s into the formula

`\begin{gathered} KE=(1)/(2)*1.5*0^2 \\ \\ KE=0J \end{gathered}`
