1. A 2.5 kg led projector is launched as a projectile off a tall building. At one point, as it is flying through the air it has a velocity of 24 m/s and a height of 14 m.
a) Find the potential energy
b) Find the kinetic energy
c) Find the total mechanical energy
d) Find the potential energy at a height of 8.7 m
e) Find the kinetic energy at that same height. (Hint - the total energy is always the same
as in part c)
f) Find the velocity at that height
g) Find the velocity at a height of 11.6 m
h) At what height would the velocity be 26 m/s?
i) What is the velocity just before it smashes into the ground?
