A 2-kg object is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Using the formula **B. U = mgh**, the potential energy is calculated as **100 joules**. If the object strikes the ground with a speed of 5 m/s, then using the formula **A. k = 1/2 mv²**, the kinetic energy is 100 joules. This requires that **C. 100 joules** of energy is turned into **D. heat** and eventually released to its surroundings.
