A12-kg projectile is launched with an initial vertical speed of 20 m/s. it rises to a maximum height of 18 m above the launch point. what is the change in mechanical energy caused by the dissipative (air) resistive force on the projectile during this ascent

Change in mechanical energy,

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the projectile, m = 12 kg

Speed of the projectile, v = 20 m/s

Maximum height, h = 18 m

Initially, the projectile have only kinetic energy. it is given by :

K = 2400 J

Finally, it have only potential energy. it is given by :

P = mgh

P =2116.8 J

The change in mechanical energy is given by :

So, the change in mechanical energy is 283.2 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.

the answer is b

explanation:
