Chapter 12: Problem 3
A \(10 \mathrm{~kg}\) bowling ball falls from a height of \(5 \mathrm{~m}\). Using the convenient \(g \approx 10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\), how much gravitational potential energy does it have? Just before it hits the ground, all of this potential energy has gone into kinetic energy. \(^{34}\) What is the speed of the bowling ball when it reaches the ground, based on kinetic energy?
