1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to
where
is the mass, 
is the gravitational acceleration and 
is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy
2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:
where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:
3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

Answer:
The power dissipated in either one of the parallel resistors is 2 V
Explanation:
Given;
two parallel resistors, R₁ and R₂ = 2 ohms
The total resistance of the Two resistors of 2 ohms connected in parallel is;
when connected to another resistor of 1 ohm in series, the total resistance becomes;
Rt = R₁ + R₂
Rt = 1 + 1 = 2 ohms
Current in the circuit, I = voltage / total resistance
= 2 /2 = 1 A
the overall circuit has been resolved to series connection, and current flow in series circuit is constant.
Power = I²R
Thus, power dissipated in either one of the parallel 2 ohms resistors is;
Power = I²R = (1)² x 2 = 2 V
