A 5 kg projectile is shot with an initial velocity of 8 m/s from a height of 10 meters. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, what is the total initial energy of the projectile?

Answer: 650 joules

Respuesta :

Dark3256

Explanation:

Total energy (kinetic + potential)

1/2×mv^ + mgh

1/2×5×8×8+ 5×9.8×10

1/2×320 + 5×98

320/2 + 480

320/2 + 980/2 (multipling to make the denominator equal)

1300/2 = 650 joules

Hope it helps, if you don't understand try doing it yourself with the formula.
