We will now use energy considerations to find the speed of a falling object at impact. Artiom is on the roof replacing some shingles when his 0.55 kg hammer slips out of his hands. The hammer falls 3.67 m to the ground. Neglecting air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the system will remain the same. The kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy possessed by the hammer 3.67 m above the ground is equal to the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of the falling hammer as it falls. Upon impact, all of the energy is in a kinetic form. The following equation can be used to represent the relationship:
GPE + KE (top) = GPE + KE (at impact)
Because the hammer is dropped from rest, the KE at the top is equal to zero.
Because the hammer is at base level, the height of the hammer is equal to zero; therefore the PE upon impact is zero.
We may write our equation like this:
GPE (top) = KE (at impact)
This gives us the equation:
( mgh) (top) = 1/2 mv2 (at impact)
1. Notice that the mass of the hammer "m" is shown on both sides of the equation. According to the math rules we have learned, what does this mean?
2. Manipulate the equation (rearrange the variables) to solve for v. (Remember that manipulating an equation does not involve numbers and substitutions. You just rearrange the equation. v = ?)
3. Use your equation from part B to find the speed with which the hammer struck the ground.

Aspecial electronic sensor is embedded in the seat of a car that takes riders around a circular loop-the-loop ride at an amusement park. the sensor measures the magnitude of the normal force that the seat exerts on a rider. the loop-the-loop ride is in the vertical plane and its radius is 23 m. sitting on the seat before the ride starts, a rider is level and stationary, and the electronic sensor reads 740 n. at the top of the loop, the rider is upside down and moving, and the sensor reads 370 n. what is the speed of the rider at the top of the loop?
