You throw a ball from the ground UP to someone leaning out a second story window. (a) During the motion of the ball, does gravity do positive, negative, or zero work on the ball? Explain your answer. (b) During this same motion of the ball (up from the ground to the window above), how does the kinetic energy of the ball change (increase, decrease, or stay the same)? (c) What is the connection between this change in KE and the work done by gravity? (d) The same ball is now dropped back from the second story window down to the ground. As the ball falls, does gravity do positive, negative, or zero work on it? (e) How does this affect the kinetic energy of the ball?

Please don't reject I req to u solve for me ok. Topic: Vector 1. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. Solve only clean handwriting ok must. that's the only information that was provided
