Answer:

a. 10.0 J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of bowling ball  = 10N

Height of building  = 5m

Distance of fall  = 1m

Unknown:

Kinetic energy of the ball  = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

 Mathematically;

          K.E  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] mv²

Since this body is falling under gravity;

         K.E  = mgh

 mg = weight of the ball

   h is the height

Insert the parameters and solve;

       K.E  = 10 x 1

       K.E  = 10J
