Question

consider a 2kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. it falls to the ground. think about the amounts of potential and kinetic energy the bowling ball has​

Answer 1

Kinetic energy is 0 J. Potential is 784 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that KE = 1/2(m)(v²) and PE = mgh.

The kinetic energy is 0 because the velocity is 0. The potential energy is PE = (2)(9.8)(40), assuming the ball is on earth. Use the equations to plug in the information you know.
