5) Determine the kinetic energy of the barrel when it hits the bricklayer on his way down the building.
Explanation / Answer
So I am not sure if they want us to include the bricks so the mass is either 20kg or 200kg depending. I will suppose both. We know the velocity of the barrell is 9.9 m/s so the kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2=0.5*200*9.9^2=9801J
