Answer:
1568J
Explanation:
Since the problem states 80 m from the point of drop, the height relative to the ground will be 100-80=20m.
Use conservation of Energy
ΔUg+ΔKE=0
ΔUg= mgΔh=2*9.8*(20-100)=-1568J
ΔKE-1568J=0
ΔKE=1568J
since KEi= 0 since the object is at rest 100m up, the kinetic energy 20meters above the ground is 1568J
