Consider the two spheres shown here, one made of
silver and the other of aluminum. The spheres are
dropped from a height of 1.7 m.
Composition = aluminum
Density = 2.70 g/cm³
Volume 196 cm³
What is the velocity of the silver sphere at the moment it hits the ground? (Assume that energy is
conserved during the fall and that 100%% of the sphere's initial potential energy is converted to kinetic
energy by the time impact occurs.)
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
v(Ag):
