Chapter 13.1, Problem 13.2P
A 0.5-lb stone is dropped down the “bottomless pit” at Carlsbad Caverns and strikes the ground with a speed of 95 ft/s. Neglecting air resistance, determine (a) the kinetic energy of the stone as it strikes the ground and the height h from which it was dropped. (b) Solve part a assuming that the same stone is dropped down a hole on the moon. (Acceleration of gravity on the moon = 5.31 ft/s2.)
