The masses of the object and the planet it's on, and the distance between their centers.
Given:
Mass(m)=75kg
Height (h) =100m
v(velocity)=60m/s
a(g)=9.8m/s^2(since it is a free falling object)
Now we know that
v=u+at
We know that
Potential energy=mgh
Where m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height above the ground
Substituting the above values we get
Potential energy=75 x 9.8 x 100
=73500N
Now kinetic energy =1/2mv^2
Where m is the mass
v is the velocity
Kinetic energy= 1/2 (75x60 x 60)
Kinetic energy=135000N
Now mechanical energy=
Kinetic energy+ Potential energy
Substituting the values in the above formula we get
Mechanical energy= 73500+135000
=208500N
It is about 238,900 miles between the Earth and the Moon.
Hope this helps!
