Answer:

v= 17.15 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the book=0.1 Kg

height above ground, h= 15 m

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v=\sqrt{294}

v= 17.15 m/s

Hence, the book will hit the ground at the speed of 17.15 m/s.

Then using 9.10938356E-31 kg as the mass, we get
 (3.24558 \times 10^1^4)(9.10938356\times 10^-^3^1)=2.95653\times 10^-^1^6kg
