Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity is 0. In the equation v = v0+at where v0 is the initial velocity of 0, we only have to fill in -9.8 for a and 2 for t to get the velocity after 2 seconds -19.6 m/s; after 5 seconds, when it hits the ground, a = -9.8 and t = 5 to give a velocity of -49 m/s. Gravity pulls down everything at the same rate, it doesn't matter whether we drop a feather or an elephant from the window!

What is the relationship between an object’s mass and its gravitational potential energy?.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:

Explanation:

PEg=mgh

so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.
