Answer:

450 joules ; 450 joules ; 45.9 m

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial Velocity, u = 30m/s

Mass, m = 1 kg

Kinetic Energy of ball (KE) = 0.5mu²

K. E = 0.5 * 1 * 30^2

K.E = 0.5 * 900

K.E = 450 Joules

B.) Potential Energy (P. E)

P. E = mgh

At the highest point, all kinetic energy has would have become potential energy, hence

K. E = P. E = 450 Joules

C) Height of the ball :

From ; P. E = mgh

Where ; g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s² ; h = height

450 = 1 * 9.8 * h

450 = 9.8h

h = 450 / 9.8

h = 45.918

h = 45.9 m
