Please help...this problem below is bugging me and I cannot get to the correct answer (though known) going backwards or forwards. Could anyone, stepwise, walk me through it?
Translational Motion:
Q: Two different objects are dropped from rest off a 50-m-tall cliff. One lands going 30% faster than the other. The two objects have the same mass. How much more kinetic energy does one object have at the landing than the other?
A: 69% more
