1. You drop a 25 kg mass from rest in from a height of 20 km to the surface of the Earth. You want to know the kinetic energy of the object just before it hits the surface assuming that air friction is negligible (of course this is not true). You decide to use conservation of mechanical energy to determine this. a. Take h = 0 to be the surface of the Earth. Use Ugrav = mgh to determine the potential energy at the initial position and at the final position. What is the change in potential energy and what is the kinetic energy at the end?
