Answer: 7.41 m/s
Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.
Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh
mv²/2 = mgh
v²/2 = gh
v² = 2gh
v = √2gh
Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m
v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s
Yes, that's correct. That's a big part of the reason why
the soap floats in water and the sponge sinks in it.
The work done by the machine is equal to the product between the force applied and the distance over which the force is applieds, so in this case:

And the power of the machine is equal to the ratio between the work done by the machine and the time taken:
Answer:
The starting velocity for ball 1 is 1.00 meter/second. Its ending velocity is 0.25 meter/second.
The change in velocity for ball 1 is 0.25 – 1.00 = -0.75 meter/seconds
