The final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.
In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:
where :
is the initial potential energy, at the top
is the initial kinetic energy, at the top
is the final potential energy, at the bottom
is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom
By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:
where:
m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple
is the acceleration of gravity
is the initial height
is the final height
The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:
Therefore we can solve the equation for , the final kinetic energy of the ball:

First you need to find the initial x component which is 13.02. After that you plug it into the 3rd formula on the AP physics formula sheet. Then rearrange it into the quadratic formula and solve for time. The answer should be 4.1 seconds.
