question

(a) If the x direction is normal to the surface of the earth and directed upward, the gravitational force is F_G = -Mgx˄, where g is the acceleration of gravity and has the approximate value 980 cm/sec^2. Calculate the work done by gravity when a mass of 100 gm falls through 10 cm. (b)If the particle in (a) was initially at rest, what is its kinetic energy and its velocity at the end of its 10-cm fall?
