**Work Done on a Tomato and Its Kinetic Energy**

**Problem Statement:**
How much work is done when a 115 g tomato is lifted 10.0 m?

**Solution Approach:**
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

**Given Solution:**
\[ w = 11.3 \, \text{J} \]

**Explanation:**
The energy transferred to the tomato by doing work on it increases its potential energy because the tomato is now at a greater height or position relative to the ground.

**Kinetic Energy:**

Kinetic energy, \( E_k \), is given by the formula:
\[ E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \]
where:
- \( m \) is mass in kilograms,
- \( v \) is velocity in meters per second.

**Part B:**
The tomato is dropped. What is the velocity, \( v \), of the tomato when it hits the ground? Assume 86.2% of the work done in Part A is transferred to kinetic energy, \( E \), by the time the tomato hits the ground.

**Instructions:**
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
