Answer: 52.53

Explanation:

m*g = 5.36k * 9.8N/kg = 52.53 N. = Wt.

of object.

a. KE = 0 J. = Initial KE

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h

V^2 = 0 + 19.6*1 = 19.6

V = 4.43 m/s.

KE = 0.5m*V^2 = 2.68*4.43^2 = 52.59 J.

b. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h

V^2 = 4.43^2 + 19.6*1 = 39.22

V = 6.26 m/s.

KEo = 2.68*4.43^2 = 52.59 J.

KE = 2.68*6.26^2 = 105 J.
