A carpenter on top of a roof of 20.0m high dropped a hammer of mass 1.5 kg and it fell directly to the ground. the kinetic energy of the hammer just before hitting the ground is?

[g = 10 ms-2]

A
600 J
B
150J
C
300 J
D
450 J
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C

K e just before hitting the gound

= P e at the maximum height (conservation of mechanical energy)

K e = P e = mgh = 1.5 x 10 x 20

= 300 J
