Answer:
kinetic energy body when it hits the ground is 98000 joule
1000joule = 1 kilojoule
, kinetic energy body when it hits the ground is 98 kilo-joule
Step-by-step explanation:
conservation of energy states that total energy of a system remains constant.
Potential energy of body = mgh
m = mass
g = gravitational pull = 9/8 m/s^2
h = height
kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2
where v is the velocity of body
________________________________________
Total energy for this at any point is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy
total energy at height h
v= 0
PE = 250*9.8*40= 98,000
KE = 1/2 m0^2 = 0
total energy at when ball hits the ground
h=0
PE = 250*9.8*0 =
KE = 1/2 mv^2
_______________________________________\
Applying conservation of energy
Total energy at height h = total energy at ground
98000 = KE
Thus, kinetic energy body when it hits the ground is 98000 joule
1000joule = 1 kilojoule
, kinetic energy body when it hits the ground is 98 kilo-joule
