Calculate velocity at halfway to the ground.
vfinal = root 2ad
v = root (2*9.81m/s^2*25)
v = 69.367175234 m/s
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2
Kinetic energy = 1/2 * (69.367175234 m/s^s^2
Ek = 2405.9025 Joules
The total amount of energy stored in the particles of an object is called its internal energy. The internal energy of an object is made up of the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the particles and the potential energy due to the interactive forces among the particles.
1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms
100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters
Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
========================================
Work = increase in potential energy =
(weight) x (height) =
(mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =
2,695,000 joules .
