A hammer falls off the top roof and strikes the ground with a certain kinetic energy. If it fell from a roof twice as tall how w

The kinetic energy with which the hammer strikes the ground
is exactly the potential energy it had at the height from which it fell. 

Potential energy is (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .... directly proportional
to height.

Starting from double the height, it starts with double the potential
energy, and it reaches the bottom with double the kinetic energy.

No it would not compare because if you dropped off a higher building the kinetic energy would be higher than it was before.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2,4,5

Air pressure is created by the weight of the atmosphere pushing on Earth’s surface.

Denser air is heavier than less dense air.

Air is less dense at higher altitudes.

An object is released from rest high above the surface of the earth. When it has fallen halfway to the surface, its kinetic ener
aksik [14]

Answer:

There will be an increase in the kinetic energy

Explanation:

A falling object converts the gravitational potential energy to the kinetic energy. The potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy followed by the conversation:

E_{p} = E_{k}

where Ep and Ek are potential and kinetic energies respectively.

This potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy. Halfway, the kinetic energy is equal to KE1.

However, the kinetic energy is given by the equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

As the velocity increases, the kinetic energy increases. Hence KE2 will be greater than KE1
