Acceleration is how much the velocity changes within a period of time so,
Acceleration= is the change in velocity divided by change in time
your units will be m/s squared
Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s
a=9.8 m/s
t=7s
a = d/t^2
therefore:
d = a * t^2
d = 9.8 * 7^2
d = 9.8 * 49
d = 480.2 [m]
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.
<h3>
Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>
The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.
M.A = P.E + K.E
where;
P.E is potential energy
K.E is kinetic energy
Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

Answer:
Explanation:
The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as
while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have
