Question:
The decrease in PE for a freely falling object equals its gain in KE, in accord with the conservation of energy.
(a) Using simple algebra, find an equation for an object’s speed v after falling a vertical distance h. Do this by equating KE to the object’s change in PE.
(b) Then figure out how much farther a freely falling object must fall to have twice the speed when it hits the ground.
