A 50g ball is falling down. As the ball passes a certain distance its potential energy changes for 2J. Calculate this distance. Does this distance depend on the initial velocity of the ball?

    potential energy = mass * gravity * height

    so, change in potential energy = mass * gravity * change in height

    2 = 50 * 10 * Δh

    2 : 500 = Δh

    Δh = 0.004 m

    This distance does depend on the initial velocity of the ball.
