Answer:
a. 10.0 J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of bowling ball = 10N
Height of building = 5m
Distance of fall = 1m
Unknown:
Kinetic energy of the ball = ?
Solution:
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.
Mathematically;
K.E = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] mv²
Since this body is falling under gravity;
K.E = mgh
mg = weight of the ball
h is the height
Insert the parameters and solve;
K.E = 10 x 1
K.E = 10J
