Question
Jen drops a ball with a mass of 0.100 kg from a height of 20.0 m The initial downward velocity of the ball is 5.00 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the ball after it has fallen 10.0 m?
Answers
Scott
the k.e. is equal to the initial k.e. plus the potential energy from the drop
k.e. = (.5 * .100 * 5.00^2) + (.100 * g * 10.0)
g is gravitational acceleration
k.e. = (.5 * .100 * 5.00^2) + (.100 * g * 10.0)
g is gravitational acceleration
