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.

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m
