Energy, work and power — practice question

A box with a mass of $8.0\,\text{kg}$ is raised from the ground and set on a shelf. As a result, the box gains $100\,\text{J}$ of potential energy. It then drops off the shelf. Air resistance is negligible. At what speed does the box hit the ground?

  • A$3.5\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$5.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$25\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$28\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
