A cricketer throws a ball to a team mate such that it is caught at the same height it was thrown 1.6 s later. What was the maximum height to which the cricket ball rose?

The figure is missing but we can answer anyway.the correct answer is "releasing the string". in fact, when the person is holding the bow and the arrow, the kinetic energy of the arrow is still zero (because the arrow is not moving). the moment the arrow is released, it acquires a velocity v, so its kinetic energy will become different from zero: where m is the mass of the arrow and v its velocity.  all the other options, instead, do not increase the kinetic energy of the system: -  pulling farther back on the string : this will just increase the elastic potential energy of the system-  holding the arrow higher: this will increase the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where h is the height above the ground)-  decreasing the mass of the arrow: this will decrease the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where m is the mass)

Current supplied to consumers from generating plants like coal power plant, nuclear power plant, geothermal and others are in form of alternating current instead of direct current because it can be transported easily in a long distance. also, the alternating current has a wide range of frequency and the amount or energy can be increased or decreased.
