A 47 gram golf ball is driven from the tee at a speed of 48 m/s and rises to a height of 25m. Determine the kinetic energy (in Joules) of the ball at its highest point assuming air resistance is negligible.

Question

michele_laino · Answer

here, we can apply the conservation energy, so we can write:
$$\huge \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = mg{h_{MAX}}$$
where $v_0=48$ and $h_{MAX}$ is the requested height

Thank you so much, can you help me determine the speed of the golf ball (in m/s) if it was 6m below its highest point?
