Q: An object at a height of 15 m above the ground is traveling at 25m/s. Find its
a) kinetic energy
b) gravitational energy
If I find out how to do (a), I am sure I will figure out B. The problem is I don't know how to figure out (a)
I know that Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mass (speed)^2
I also know that work = (change of kinetic energy)
Both these formulas involve masses. How do you solve?
I do know that masses cancel out when you are dealing with the law of conservation of energy, but I am only determining the energy at this specific point. Help.
