Question

Imagine you have two blocks of metals, one is composed of iron and the other is composed of platinum. When both blocks are released from a height at the same, they will have the same velocity as they hit the ground. Will they also have equal kinetic energies?

Accepted Answer

No, because platinum is heavier than iron therefore it will have greater kinetic energy.

Answer
