a.
Given,
height (h) = 100m
mass (m) = 5kg
acceleration due to gravitation (g) = 9.8ms^-2
Potential energy
= mgh
= 5kg × 9.8ms^-1 × 100m
= 4900 kgm²s^-2
= 4900 J
b.
Since the ball is not moving yet, its kinetic energy is 0.
c.
The total of potential and kinetic energy at every point of the journey is same, i.e., 4900 J.
