Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?
Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.
So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
Answer:
15 m/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

Therefore

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet
Taking g as 9.81 then


<h2>Speed = Distance/Time</h2>
If a train travelled 500 meters in 25 seconds then,
Speed = 500m/25sec
<h2>
→ 20 m/sec</h2>
