Conservation of mechanical energy: drop from height 34.81 m
An object of mass 1.807 kg is released from rest at height 34.81 m above a reference level. Taking gravitational potential energy as m g h and kinetic energy as (1/2) m v², conservation of mechanical energy (neglecting non-conservative work) yields (1/2) m v² = m g h, so v = sqrt(2 g h) = 26.13 m/s at the reference lev...
K + U = constant (conservative systems); U_g = m g h; K = (1/2) m v^2
newton_second_law; work-energy theorem
