50 points i need a 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. it falls to the ground. think about the amounts of potential and kinetic energy the bowling ball has:
• as it sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall.
• as it is half way through a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 19.8 meters per second.
• as it is just about to hit the ground from a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 28 meters per second.

1. does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy as it sit on top of the building? why?

2. does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy as it is half way through its fall? why?

3. does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy just before it hits the ground? why?

4. what is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?

5. what is the potential energy of the ball as it is half way through the fall, 20 meters high?

6. what is the kinetic energy of the ball as it is half way through the fall?

7. what is the kinetic energy of the ball just before it hits the ground?

Adiver named jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). the temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘c, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘c. what is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (vs) to its volume at the bottom (vb)? if jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. would it be safe for jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?
