Kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * v^2
Potential energy = m*g*h
m = 15.9 kg
h= 113 m
Potential energy = 15.9 kg * 9.8 N * 113 m = 17,607.66 J
Kinetic energy right before it hits the ground
PE = KE
mgh = 1/2 m v^2
Masses cancel out
gh = 1/2v^2
9.8 N * 113m = 1/2 v^2
Solve for v
1,107.4 Nm = 1/2 v^2
1,107.4 Nm / (1/2) = v^2
2,214.8 Nm = v^2
√2,214 = v
47.06 m/s = V
Kinetic energy : 1/2 * m * v^2 = 1/2 * 15.9 * 47.06^2 = 17,606.41 J
