1. **Problem statement:** Calculate the kinetic energy of a dart hitting a target at a speed of 4.39 m/s, then find the height from which the dart must be dropped to reach that energy level without air resistance.
2. **Given data:**
- Speed $v = 4.39$ m/s
- Mass $m = 0.2$ kg
- Gravitational acceleration $g = 9.81$ m/s$^2$
- Height $h$ to be found
3. **Step 1: Calculate kinetic energy (KE) when dart hits the target.**
Formula for kinetic energy:
$$ KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 $$
Substitute values:
$$ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 \times (4.39)^2 $$
Calculate:
$$ KE = 0.1 \times 19.2721 = 1.92721 \text{ J} $$
4. **Step 2: Calculate height $h$ from which dart must be dropped to have the same energy (potential energy equals kinetic energy).**
Formula for potential energy:
$$ PE = m g h $$
Set $PE = KE$:
$$ m g h = KE $$
Solve for $h$:
$$ h = \frac{KE}{m g} $$
Substitute values:
$$ h = \frac{1.92721}{0.2 \times 9.81} $$
Show cancellation:
$$ h = \frac{1.92721}{\cancel{0.2} \times 9.81} = \frac{1.92721}{1.962} $$
Calculate:
$$ h = 0.9825 \text{ meters} $$
5. **Final answers:**
- Kinetic energy at impact: $1.92721$ J
- Height to drop dart for same energy: $0.9825$ m
These values can be used to determine coordinates as per the problem instructions.
