Since the stone was dropped from height, its initial velocity = 0 m/s
Using v² = u² + 2gs.
Where g ≈ 10 m/s², u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, s = height from drop = 2.5 m
v² = u² + 2gs
v² = 0² + 2*10*2.5
v² = 0 + 50
v² = 50
v = √50
v ≈ 7.07 m/s
Hence velocity just before hitting the ground is ≈ 7.07 m/s
Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.
If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.
Distance = speed x time
distance = 116 x 10
distance = 1160 m
In the question "What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?" The correct answer is that they are all renewable energy.
Solar energy is energy that comes from the heat from the sun.
Wind energy is the energy that is generated from the wind.
Geothermal energy energy is the energy that comes from the heat from the earth.
