An object, initially at rest, is dropped from a height of 15.0 m. The change in gravitational potential energy when it falls to the ground is 750 J.
The frictional forces are negligible.
What is its speed when it hits the ground?
5.10 m s−15.10\text{ m s}^{-1}5.10 m s−1
17.2 m s−117.2\text{ m s}^{-1}17.2 m s−1
50.0 m s−150.0\text{ m s}^{-1}50.0 m s−1
294 m s−1294\text{ m s}^{-1}294 m s−1
