What is the total energy of a falling object if it has 170 J of potential energy and 350 J of kinetic energy?

Potential energy with respect to gravity is PE = mgh. When the object is dropped, thrown downward or projected upward, its kinetic energy becomes KE = mv2/2, along with a factor of the initial velocity. The sum of the PE and KE is the total energy (TE), which is a constant.

Explanation:

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.

i had this question and the answer was 3.15 miles.

a) 0 miles  

b) 0.4 miles  

c) 1 mile  

d) 3.15 miles
