Answer:
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not <u>change</u>. This means the total momentum <u>before</u><u> </u>a collision or explosion is equal to the total momentum <u>after</u><u> </u>a collision or explosion.
10^9 giga, 10^6 mega, 10^3 kilo, 10^-3 milli, 10^-6 micro, 10^-9 nano, 10^-12 pico
Potentially they might want centi which is 10^-2
Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH
V^2 = 2GH
V = âš2GH
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)
V = âš 6370
V = 79.81 m/s
