1 . J
(b) The rock falls from the cliff. What is its kinetic energy just before it strikes the ground?
2 . J
(c) What speed does the rock have as it strikes the ground?
3 44.7m/s
- i got the 3 answer, need help with the other 2 setups!

Answers
(a) PE = m•g•h
(b) KE = PE
(c) mv²/2 = PE,
v =sqrt(2•PE/m)
(b) KE = PE
(c) mv²/2 = PE,
v =sqrt(2•PE/m)
can you show me how to plug each of them in?
