Answer:

The kinetic energy when the film vault landed is 12744000J.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is defined as:

k_{e} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  (1)

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

By means of equation 1, the kinetic energy of the film vault when it landed can be determined

k_{e} = \frac{1}{2}(1770kg)(120m/s)^{2}  

But 1 J = kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

k_{e} = 12744000J

Hence, the kinetic energy when the film vault landed is 12744000J.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
To have a weight of 2.21N., the ball's mass is (2.21/9.8) = .226kg. 
<span>a) d = 1/2 (vt), = 1/2 (18 x .17), = 1.53m. </span>
<span>b) Acceleration of the ball = (v/t), = 18/.17, = 105.88m/sec^2. </span>
