The kinetic energy (KE) of an object can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2
\]
where \( m \) is the mass of the object in kilograms and \( v \) is the velocity in meters per second.
For a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg moving at a velocity of 50 m/s, we can substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.15 \, \text{kg} \times (50 \, \text{m/s})^2
\]
Calculating this step by step:
1. Calculate \( (50 \, \text{m/s})^2 \):
\[
(50 \, \text{m/s})^2 = 2500 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2
\]
2. Now substitute back into the kinetic energy formula:
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.15 \times 2500
\]
3. Calculate \( 0.15 \times 2500 \):
\[
0.15 \times 2500 = 375
\]
4. Now, compute \( \frac{1}{2} \times 375 \):
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{375}{2} = 187.5 \, \text{J}
\]
Thus, the kinetic energy of the baseball is \( 187.5 \, \text{J} \).
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2
\]
where \( m \) is the mass of the object in kilograms and \( v \) is the velocity in meters per second.
For a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg moving at a velocity of 50 m/s, we can substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.15 \, \text{kg} \times (50 \, \text{m/s})^2
\]
Calculating this step by step:
1. Calculate \( (50 \, \text{m/s})^2 \):
\[
(50 \, \text{m/s})^2 = 2500 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2
\]
2. Now substitute back into the kinetic energy formula:
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.15 \times 2500
\]
3. Calculate \( 0.15 \times 2500 \):
\[
0.15 \times 2500 = 375
\]
4. Now, compute \( \frac{1}{2} \times 375 \):
\[
\text{KE} = \frac{375}{2} = 187.5 \, \text{J}
\]
Thus, the kinetic energy of the baseball is \( 187.5 \, \text{J} \).

To find the gravitational potential energy (PE) of the suspended pallet of steel, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{PE} = mgh
\]
where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms),
- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (in meters per second squared),
- \( h \) is the height above the reference point (in meters).
In this case:
- \( m = 1000 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the pallet),
- \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity),
- \( h = 100 \, \text{m} \) (height above ground).
Now we can substitute these values into the potential energy formula:
\[
\text{PE} = 1000 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 100 \, \text{m}
\]
Calculating this step by step:
1. Calculate \( m \times g \):
\[
1000 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 9810 \, \text{N}
\]
2. Now, calculate the potential energy:
\[
\text{PE} = 9810 \, \text{N} \times 100 \, \text{m} = 981000 \, \text{J}
\]
Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the suspended pallet of steel is \( 981000 \, \text{J} \) or \( 981 \, \text{kJ} \).
\[
\text{PE} = mgh
\]
where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms),
- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (in meters per second squared),
- \( h \) is the height above the reference point (in meters).
In this case:
- \( m = 1000 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the pallet),
- \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity),
- \( h = 100 \, \text{m} \) (height above ground).
Now we can substitute these values into the potential energy formula:
\[
\text{PE} = 1000 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 100 \, \text{m}
\]
Calculating this step by step:
1. Calculate \( m \times g \):
\[
1000 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 9810 \, \text{N}
\]
2. Now, calculate the potential energy:
\[
\text{PE} = 9810 \, \text{N} \times 100 \, \text{m} = 981000 \, \text{J}
\]
Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the suspended pallet of steel is \( 981000 \, \text{J} \) or \( 981 \, \text{kJ} \).
