Potential energy refers to the energy of an object that is released as kinetic energy when it falls back to the ground. When a stone is dropped from a height of 5m, its speed when it hits the ground is 9.9 m/s.

What is the velocity of a stone dropped of a building 318 meters?

Ignoring any effects due to air resistance, the speed of the stone is zero at the instant it's dropped, and increases steadily to 78.98 meters per second when it hits the ground. The velocity is directed downward throughout the experiment.


Is the speed uniform or nonuniform of a stone dropped from a height?

The speed of a dropped stone will be non-uniform. The stone goes faster as it falls by an amount equal to 32 feet per second, per second. That means for each second of falling, the speed increases by another 32 feet per second until terminal velocity is reached.


If a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously in vacuum fron the same height which of two will reach the ground first?

They will both hit the ground at the same time.


What will happen to a stone dropped from the roof of a single story building to the surface of the earth?

The stone would fall straight down from the release point, it would fall with steadily increasing speed, and when it hit the ground, it would stop falling. The rate at which its speed increased during the fall would be 32.2 feet per second faster every second.


Why the glass of water overflowed if stone dropped?

If the glass is even partially filled a stone thrown at sufficient speed will splash water below the kinetic energy of the stone will be dissipated by transferring it to the water. However if the stone is gently dropped into the glass of water (and it was full or nearly full) then the stone which is not soluble in water will displace an amount of water equal to its volume which will overflow.

A stone is thrown upward from a roof at the same time as another identical stone is dropped from there What is true of the two stones?

A) the dropped one hits the ground first B) the tossed one hits harder


How do you find the height of the tower given only 8 seconds stone is dropped?

distance = speed x time so the distance is just the speed of the stone x 8 seconds


Which will fall first in vacuum paper or stone?

Depends on which one is dropped first. If they are both dropped at the same time, they will both reach the ground at the same time.

Is Dropped like a stone a metaphor or simile?

"Dropped like a stone" is a simile because it uses "like" to compare the action of dropping to a stone.
