1. How much weight is required to be dropped from 1 meter height so that on impact on ground will give 9 Joules of energy
Calculating Energy Impact: Weight Required for 9 Joules at 1 Meter Height
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
To achieve an impact energy of 9 Joules from a drop height of 1 meter, a weight of 0.918 kilograms is required. This calculation is based on the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is expressed as PE = mgh, where PE is potential energy, m is mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and h is height in meters. The discussion confirms that using this formula provides a definitive answer to the energy impact question posed.
