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.
It begins with a kick-off
To create the shapes, stars are arranged on a piece of cardboard in the desired configuration. If the stars are placed in a smiley face pattern on the cardboard, for example, they will explode into a smiley face in the sky. In fact, you may see several smiley faces in the sky at one time.
