The answer is A. The kinetic energy
The kinetic energy with which the hammer strikes the ground
is exactly the potential energy it had at the height from which it fell.
Potential energy is (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .... directly proportional
to height.
Starting from double the height, it starts with double the potential
energy, and it reaches the bottom with double the kinetic energy.

Answer:
Acceleration, 
Explanation:
Initial velocity of a particle in vector form, u = (-5i - 2j) m/s
Final velocity of particle in vector form, v = (-6i + 7j) m/s
Time taken, t = 8 seconds
We need to find the magnitude of acceleration vector. The changing of velocity w.r.t time is called acceleration of a particle. It is given by :

or

Hence, the value of acceleration vector is solved.
