We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:
Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.
(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:
(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation
v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:
v=√(2*g*h)
v=99.04 m/s
So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.
The potential energy that the ball has at the top of the tower is its kinetic energy when it hits the ground. The second ball has more potential energy at the top, because you did more work on it to carry it up there. So it has more KE at the bottom. (A)
The launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s
Given that the launch velocity of marble launcher, launches a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm (0.73 m) and the marble roll up to 6.2 meters before stopping. The launch height is 20 cm (0.2 m).
The time for landing can be calculated by the second equation of motion formula:
h = ut + 
g
Let u = 0
0.2 = 0×t + × 9.8 ×
= 
= 0.04
t = 0.2s
Now, the launch velocity of the marble launcher can be calculated by:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 
Speed = 
Speed = 34.65 m/s
Therefore, the launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s
