Question

A 2 kg ball is thrown down with 50J of energy from a height of 10m, what is its velocity before it strikes the ground (neglect air resistance)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2kg

Energy = 50J

Height = 10m

To find the speed

Kinetic energy can be defined as the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.

K.E = ½mv²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

50 = ½*2*v²

V² = 50

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

V = 7.07m/s
