PLEASE HELP ME

A boulder is raised above the ground so that the gravitational potential energy relative to the ground is 310 J. Then it is dropped. What is its kinetic energy just before it hits the ground?

Answer:

try this

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of a falling object when it hits the ground is equaled to the energy it starts with because the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy entirely with the height at 0. This means the energy would be 200 J.
