A ball is thrown with 50J of kinetic energy, it hits a target which moves with 30J of kinetic energy, how much energy goes to the thermal store of the surroundings?

The energy that will go will for thermal store of the surroundings is 20 J.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of the thrown ball, K.E₁ = 50 J

kinetic energy used to move the target, K.E₂ = 30 J

The excess energy that will go will for thermal store of the surroundings;

ΔK.E = K.E₁ - K.E₂

ΔK.E = 50J - 30J

ΔK.E = 20 J

Therefore, the energy that will go will for thermal store of the surroundings is 20 J.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
