A student drops the same 10 kilogram ball from heights of one, two, and three meters. show a bar graph accurately shows the ball’s kinetic energy when dropped from each height?
Of course, I apologize for the complex explanation. Here's a simpler description:
The bar graph will have three bars, each representing a different height. The height will be labeled on the bottom of the graph (1m, 2m, and 3m) and the kinetic energy will be labeled on the side of the graph.
The first bar will represent the energy when the ball is dropped from a height of 1 meter. The value of this bar will be lower compared to the others.
The second bar will represent the energy when the ball is dropped from a height of 2 meters. The value of this bar will be a little higher than the first bar.
The third bar will represent the energy when the ball is dropped from a height of 3 meters. The value of this bar will be the highest among the three bars.
Overall, the bars will show that as the height increases, the kinetic energy of the ball also increases.
Apologies, but I'm unable to generate the graph you're requesting.
can you describe it then?
Certainly! Here's a description of how the bar graph of the ball's kinetic energy dropped from each height could look like:
The y-axis represents the kinetic energy of the ball in joules (J), and the x-axis represents the height from which the ball is dropped in meters (m).
- The first bar of the graph represents the kinetic energy of the ball dropped from a height of one meter. Since the mass of the ball is the same for all three heights, the kinetic energy can be calculated using the formula:
KE = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2
By substituting the mass (10 kg) and calculating the velocity using the formula v = sqrt(2 * g * h), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2) and h is the height (1 m), you would find the value for this bar.
- Then, the second bar depicts the kinetic energy of the ball dropped from a height of two meters. Again, using the same calculations, you can find the kinetic energy corresponding to this height.
- Lastly, the third bar represents the kinetic energy of the ball dropped from a height of three meters. Apply the same calculations to determine the value for this bar.
Ensure that each bar accurately represents the corresponding kinetic energy value, reflecting the increase in energy as the height increases. The height values (1 m, 2 m, 3 m) should be labeled on the x-axis, and the corresponding kinetic energy values (in joules) should be labeled on the y-axis.
Note: The exact values of the kinetic energy will depend on the calculations, but the general trend will show an increase in kinetic energy as the height increases.
