Answer:

K= 95.4 J

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the conservation of mechanical energy.

We set a reference system on the floor.

Starting point. Higher

          Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Just before taking the floor

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved because there is no friction

         Em₀ = Em_f

         mg h = K

         

The height is

  1.         h = y -y₀

                 h = 0- y₀

let's calculate

       K =  3.23 (-9.81)  (-3.01)          

       K= 95.4 J
