Because even though the object got crush and misshape it still has the same identity. the identity never change
Answer:
H = start height (v = 0)
h = present height
v = present speed
assuming no friction
total energy = PE + KE
mgH = mgh + .5mv^2
if PE = KE then
mgH = mgh + mgh
h = H/2
potential energy = kinetic energy when object is at half its start height.
Explanation:
Amalgamating is the coating of zinc plate with mercury.
