An 8.00-kg crate is dropped from a helicopter at a height of 600 m above the ground. find the total energy of the crate (in kj) when it is at a height of 300m, assuming no air resistance.

Consider two less-than-desirable options. in the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going 30 mph. in the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. in neither case does your car bounce off the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. which of these two situations would result in the greatest impact force?
