An object which has a mass of 70 kg is sitting on a cliff 10m high calculate the objects potential energy. given g=10m/s^2 a.7,000 joules b. 3,500 joules c. 700 joules d. 70 joules e. 35 joules

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
