A ball is dropped from the top of a cliff. By the time it reaches the ground, all of its gravitational potential energy has been

transferred into kinetic energy. If the ball is travelling at 20m/s when it hits the ground, what height was it dropped from? (Assume that the gravitational field strength is 10N/kg.)

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

Initial potential energy = final kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 mv²

gh = 1/2 v²

h = v² / (2g)

Given v = 20 m/s and g = 10 m/s²:

h = (20 m/s)² / (2 × 10 m/s²)

h = 20 m

What is relative density?​
Artemon [7]
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.

Explain why the gravitational acceleration of any object near earth is the same matter what was the mass of the object
Gre4nikov [31]
It takes greater force to accelerate an object that has more mass. But the gravitational force between the Earth and an object is greater when the object hass more mass. It works out just right to make any object with any mass accelerate at the same rate.
