Remember Newton's second law: F=ma
to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2
conveniently, we don't need to convert units
we just need to multiply the two to get the force
65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N
if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell.
Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h
Which means KE = m·g·h
We can solve for h:
h = KE / m·g
= 20 / (0.15 · 9.8)
= 13.6m
The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.
Answer: 65.25 J
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy K.E. = 1/2 * m * v^2 ; where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body ; K.E. = 1/2 * 0.145 * 30 * 30 = 65.25 Joules
