A ball has a mass of 0.5 kg. Dropped from a cliff top. the ball hits the sea below at a speed of 10 m/s. What was the ball's gravitational potential energy before it was dropped?

25 J

Explanation:

Using Law of Conservation of Energy

Total Energy before = Total Energy After

Potential Energy1 + Kinetic Energy1 = Potential Energy2 + Kinetic Energy2

Potential Energy1 + 0 = 0 + Kinetic Energy2

Potential Energy1 = =0.5*0.5*10*10= 25 J

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
