Answer:

  1) 28,160.33 J

  2) 30.99 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Kinetic energy is given by the formula ...

  KE = 1/2mv^2 . . . . . m represents mass

  KE = (1/2)(34 kg)(40.7 m/s)² = 28,160.33 J

__

2)

The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

  mgh = 1/2mv² . . . . m represents mass

  v = √(2gh) . . . . . . m cancels when we multiply by 2/m.

  v = √(2·9.8 m/s²·49 m) ≈ 30.99 m/s . . . . . m represents meters

The speed at the bottom is about 30.99 m/s.
