The discussion revolves around calculating the kinetic energy of a stone dropped from a height of 100 meters, including determining its final velocity upon impact. The scope includes homework-related problem-solving and application of physics concepts such as conservation of energy and kinetic energy formulas.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the correct final velocity, with differing calculations presented. There is also uncertainty regarding the calculation of kinetic energy, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved.
There are limitations in the discussion, including potential misunderstandings about the application of mass in the velocity calculation and the kinetic energy formula. The assumptions regarding the conditions of the fall and the definitions of terms are not fully explored.
The Futur said:how do i calculate the kinetic energy?
The Futur said:Homework Statement
b) A person standing on the edge of a 100 m high cliff drops a 0.5 kg stone vertically downwards. Determine the final velocity of the stone after falling 100m, and its kinetic energy.
Homework Equations
Final velocity
v = √(2gx)
The Attempt at a Solution
final velocity
v = √(2gx)
v = √(2(0.5x9.8)100)
v= 31.3m/s
is that correct?
how do i calculate the kinetic energy?
The Futur said:so it will be
v = √(2gx)
v = √(2(9.8)100)
v= 44.27m/s ?
and no i don't know how to calculate the second part
