Calculate the work done by the force of gravity when a 5.0kg object is lifted to a height of 30.0m above the ground B. Calculate the velocity with which the object strikes the ground if dropped from that height, using the principle of conservation of energy C. Calculate the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the object at a halfway on the path after it is dropped. To do this part, you need to find the velocity of the object at that position using an equation of motion. What is the total energy of the object at that point? Does this verify the principle of conservation of energy?arrow_forward
