Answer:
0.24
Explanation:
Mass of ball= 12g=0.012Kg
height of ball= 2.5m
velocity of ball before falling= 3.2m/s
potential energy of the ball=mgh= 0.012*10*2.5=0.3J
kinetic energy of the ball=0.5*m[tex]v^{2}[/tex]=0.5*0.012*3.2*3.2=0.6J
Loss in mechanical energy during the fall= potential energy- Kinetic energy= 0.3-0.06=0.24J
note: During the fall, the potential energy of the ball is converted to kinetic energy. the loss in energy is due to air resistance.
