Question: Discuss about the Ubiquitous Information Technologies and Applications. Answer: Introduction: The ball is placed at a height of 0.8 meters. First at this point is a not-zero point. The fact that the ball is not at zero place makes it to have gravitational potential energy, EPE. At this point, ball is resting and the kinetic energy is zero. When the ball is released, it acquires kinetic energy as it gains velocity down. The amount is the kinetic energy is depended on the amount of the speed which the ball gains (International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Technologies Applications Han, 2013). As the ball fall on the spring, elastic potential energy is experienced before it bounces back to a certain height. At this point, the Kinetic energy is converted to elastic potential energy. Then the elastic potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy and the ball gains some velocity moving upward. The ball will move to a height when the velocity will be zero and unable to move further. The kinetic energy will transform to gravitational potential energy, which is non-ze ro since the ball is at height. The ball will start falling again and it acquires kinetic energy. The energy changes are GPE to KE to EPE then to KE to GPE at top again (Tavakoli Southern Methodist University, 2011). This experiment can be based on the physical phenomenon when one is playing lawn tennis. The changes in energy will be similar between these two instances. The tennis ball will start at GPE then move to KE and when it hits the ground it gains EPE as it bounces, which is then transformed to KE.
