The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s² downward.

This means that every falling object gains 9.8 m/s more downward speed
every second that it falls.

In 5 seconds of falling, it gains (5 x 9.8 m/s) = 49 m/s of downward speed.

If it was already descending at 2.0 m/s at the beginning of the 5 sec,
then at the end of the 5 sec it would be descending at

                                 (2 m/s  +  49 m/s)  =  51 m/s .

Nitella [24]
All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

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

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .

A billiard ball moving at 0.5 m/s strikes another identical billiard ball, which is at rest, in an elastic head-on collision on
NikAS [45]

Answer: assuming that the billiard balls are of identical weight the impacted billiard ball will move forward at around 0.5m/s (not considering energy conservation). The ball impacting the 2nd one would stop because most of its Kinetic energy would have been transferred into the not moving ball.

Explanation: hope this helps!
