The problem involves the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy as the object falls from rest. Energy is conserved, so the equation used is:
PEi + KEi = PEf + KEf
Since the object is falling from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. Also, since the object hits the ground at its final position, the final potential energy is zero. This leaves:
PEi = KEf
mgh = 1/2 mv^2
*cancel out mass on both sides of the equation
gh = 0.5v^2
v = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2*9.81*4.5) = 9.40 m/s --> final ans.
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.
In science and physics net force is the mean or overall of all the forces acting on an object.
