Question

The tomato is dropped. What is the velocity, v

, of the tomato when it hits the ground? Assume 86.0 %
of the work done in Part A is transferred to kinetic energy, E
, by the time the tomato hits the ground.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer 1

To determine the tomato's velocity when it hits the ground, we need more information. Specifically, we need the height from which the tomato was dropped and the tomato mass.

Without these details, it is impossible to calculate velocity accurately. The velocity of an object when it hits the ground depends on factors such as the height of the fall, the mass of the object, and any forces acting on it during the fall (such as air resistance).

If you can provide the necessary information, I can help you calculate the velocity of the tomato when it hits the ground.
