A ball of mass 1 kg is dropped from a height of 5m. (a) Find the kinetic energy of the ball just before it reaches the ground (b) What is the speed at this instant?
Added by Mia M.
Step 1
- Mass of the ball, \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - Height from which the ball is dropped, \( h = 5 \, \text{m} \) - Gravitational acceleration, \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) Show more…

A ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 2 m. Assuming that all of the gravitational potential energy (GPE) is transferred to kinetic energy (KE), what will be the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground?
