Law of Conservation ?'s
Submitted by moyler316 on 20. June 2006 - 16:48.
This is a Law of Conservation of Energy problem.
It says, a rock is dropped from the top of a 100 ft. building. Find the velocity of the rock when it's 75 ft. off the ground.
This is all the info I'm given. I feel like I'm needing the mass of the rock to solve this but don't know how to find it. Or is the info I'm given enough? I'm lost on this one.

Just use energy conservation law
Energy at top = Kinetic energy at 75 feet + potential energy at 75 feet
mg*100 = mv^2 / 2 + mg*75
Just equate this and get value of velocity v
