Answer:
A. 490
Explanation:
soln
mass = m = 5kg
Height = h = 10m
Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8ms²
K.E = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²
Recall from equations of motion
v² = u² + 2gh
Therefore,
K.E = 1/2 × mass × ( u² + 2gh)
K.E = 1/2 × 5 × ( 0² + 2×10×9.8)
K.E = 1/2 × 5 × 196
K.E = 1/2 × 980
K.E = 490 Joules
