gligible, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? Part (b)  If drag produces an opposing force of 10 N while the ball's falling, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? Assume the ball has a mass of 5 kg. Part (c)  A different ball was dropped and the final speed was measured to be vf = 8.5 m/s while the drag force was measured to be 50 Newtons. What is the mass of this ball in kg?

Question

A bowling ball is dropped from the top of a building that has a height of h = 112 m.
Part (a)  Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground?
Part (b)  If drag produces an opposing force of 10 N while the ball's falling, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? Assume the ball has a mass of 5 kg.
Part (c)  A different ball was dropped and the final speed was measured to be vf = 8.5 m/s while the drag force was measured to be 50 Newtons. What is the mass of this ball in kg?
