Question

C7 15.) A baseball (mass = 145 g) is thrown straight upward with kinetic energy 10.15 J.

(a) When the ball has risen 7 m, find the work done by gravity. (Take g = 10 m/s2)
_______________________________ J

(b) Find the ball's kinetic energy.
 _______________________________ J

(c) Find the ball's speed.
______________________________ m/s
**Problem Statement:**

A baseball (mass = 145 g) is thrown straight upward with kinetic energy 10.15 J.

**Tasks:**

(a) When the ball has risen 7 m, find the work done by gravity. (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)).
- Answer: [_______] J

(b) Find the ball's kinetic energy.
- Answer: [_______] J

(c) Find the ball's speed.
- Answer: [_______] m/s

**Instructions:**

- To solve part (a), calculate the work done by gravity using the formula:  
  \( W = m \cdot g \cdot h \)  
  where \( m \) is the mass in kg, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the height in meters.

- For part (b), use the initial and potential energy to find the remaining kinetic energy.

- In part (c), use the kinetic energy formula:  
  \( KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \)  
  to find the speed of the ball. 

**Note:**  
Convert the mass from grams to kilograms when using these formulas.
