3.) A 5kg cannonball was dropped (from rest) from a height of 10m above the ground. What is the velocity of
the dumbbell as it hits the ground? Here, we assume that there is no air resistance.
*Hint: You can set the ground level to be y = 0.
Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy: "The initial mechanical energy is equivalent to the final
mechanical energy i.e., the mechanical energy is constant in the absence of any dissipative force such as
friction or air resistance."
