Answer:

19.6 J

Explanation:

Hello

The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in any isolated physical system remains unchanged over time, although this energy can be transformed into another form of energy,  in this case we initially have gravitational potential energy (due to height and gravity) and then it is transformed into kinetic energy (due to the movement)

E_{g} =mgh

where m is the mass , g the gravity and h the height

E_{k} =\frac{m*v^{2} }{2}

assuming that there is no air resistance the energy is conserved

E_{g} =E_{k} \\mgh = \frac{m*v^{2} }{2} \\\\

E_{g} =mgh = 0.2 kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } *10 m\\\\E_{g}=19.6 Joules\\ E_{g}=E_{k}=19.6 J\\

the energy it has right before it hits the ground is 19.6 J

I hope it helps.

A machine lifts a 35 kg object doing 6860 J worth of work. How much power is produced by the machine if it lifts the object in 4
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation for this which is

P = Work/time

We have everything we need to solve this (the mass of the object is extra information):

P = 6860/4

P = 1715W
