- 140 J
- 70 J
- 50 J
- 35 J
9.
Imagine an object held at some height above the ground. It is released and falls toward the ground. Ignoring air resistance or friction, which of the following must be true?
- Before it falls, all of its energy must be potential energy.
- At the end of its fall, all of its energy must be converted to kinetic energy.
- During its fall, the combination of its kinetic and potential energy must equal the amount of potential energy with which it started.
- All of the above are true?
10.
An object with the mass of .1 kg was dropped from a cliff 200 m high. Immediately before hitting the ground, it was clocked to travel with the speed of 40 m/s. Calculate how much energy was dissipated by the air drag.
