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
ould the kinetic energy compare?
2 answers:
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.

Scientists can tell this by looking at seismic waves released by earthquakes. ( if you need me to elaborate more ask)
It moves backwards do to the impact. this is because force can not be created nor destroyed so it is transferred.<span />
Answer:
- Advantage: Helps us to walk without slipping.
- Helps machines work
Disadvantage:
- We slip on a wet floor.
- Causes the smoothness of tires and smoothness of shoes soul.
