• as it sits on top of a building that is 50 meters tall. • as it is half-way through a fall off a building that is 50 meters tall and travelling 19.8 meters per second.
• as it is just about to hit the ground from a fall off a building that is 50 meters tall and travelling 28 m/s
What is the potential energy of the ball as it is half-way through the fall (25 meters high)?

Iknow the answer is a but i don't know why

Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. she’s proofreading her passage for any factual errors. which sentence must hannah correct before submitting her report? earth receives energy from the sun. this energy drives many of the processes on earth, including its climate. some part of this energy is reflected by earth’s surface. we use the term albedo to describe the reflected energy. albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object. a value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed. in this way, the albedo of an object can influence earth’s atmospheric temperature.

Which function is performed by earths atmosphere? a. ultraviolet rays are prevented from reaching the ozone layer. b. earths temperature is raised and moderated by trapping in heat c. charged particles from the sun are prevented from reaching earth. d. magnetic charges from space are prevented from reaching earths surface.
