While the ball is held 20 meters above the floor,

                                   Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) x (height) =

                                                        (0.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m) =  98 joules.

When it's dropped and reaches 1/2 of its initial height, it has half as much
potential energy.  The rest has turned into kinetic energy  =  <em>49 joules.

</em>
============================================================<em>
</em>

Want to know what else you can figure out ?  Watch this . . . 

                                                 <u> Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²</u>

                                                          49 joules = (1/2) x (0.5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by (0.25 kg):       49 joules / 0.25 kg = speed²

Take the square root of each side:        7/0.5 = speed = <em><u>14 meters per second</u></em>

That's the speed of the ball after falling 10 meters ! 
How cool is that !

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
