Answer:

6.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 0.5kg

Height  = 2m

Unknown:

Velocity when the ball hits the ground  = ?

Solution:

Since the potential  energy is transformed into kinetic energy;

            P.E  = K.E

              mgh  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

     cancelling m;

               gh  =  \frac{1}{2} v²

                v² = 2gh

                v  = √2gh

Insert the parameters and solve;

               v  = √2gh  = √ 2 x 9.8 x 2  = 6.3m/s

What is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on earth?
disa [49]
The weight of an object is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. The weight ( W ) is the product of the mass ( m ) of the object and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration ( g ).
On Earth: g = 9.81 m/s²
m = 20 kg
W = m · g = 20 kg · 9.81 m/s² = 196.2 N

an Olympic runner leaps over a hurdle.if the runner initial vertical speed is 2.2m/s how much will the runners center of mass be
Snowcat [4.5K]
Supposing the runner is condensed to a point and moves upward at 2.2 m/s.
It takes a time = 2.2/g = 2.2/9.8 = 0.22 seconds to increase to max height. 
Now looking at this condition in opposite - that is the runner is at max height and drops back to earth in 0.22 s (symmetry of this kind of motion). 
From what height does any object take 0.22 s to fall to earth (supposing there is no air friction)? 
d = 1/2gt²= (0.5)(9.8)(0.22)²= 0.24 m
