  1. 140 J
  2. 70 J
  3. 50 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?
  1. Before it falls, all of its energy must be potential energy.
  2. At the end of its fall, all of its energy must be converted to kinetic energy.
  3. During its fall, the combination of its kinetic and potential energy must equal the amount of potential energy with which it started.
  4. 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.
