Question 1
A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m. Ignoring air resistance, how fast is it moving just before it hits the ground, in m/s? (g = 9.8 N/kg; give 1 decimal place)
Answerm/s
Question 2
A 60 kg object falls 10 m. 25 % of its gravitational potential energy is transferred to the surroundings by air resistance. How much kinetic energy does it have at the bottom, in J? (g = 9.8 N/kg; give 1 decimal place)
AnswerJ
Question 3
A skateboarder leaves the bottom of a ramp at 5 m/s. Ignoring friction, what is the greatest height they can reach, in m? (g = 9.8 N/kg; give 2 decimal places)
Answerm
Question 4
A ball is dropped from a height of 80 m. Ignoring air resistance, how fast is it moving just before it hits the ground, in m/s? (g = 9.8 N/kg; give 1 decimal place)
Answerm/s
Question 5
A 5 kg object falls 10 m. 40 % of its gravitational potential energy is transferred to the surroundings by air resistance. How much kinetic energy does it have at the bottom, in J? (g = 9.8 N/kg; give 1 decimal place)
AnswerJ
