A ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 20 m. Calculate its kinetic energy just before it strikes the ground and its velocity at that instant. Take g = 10 m s−2 and ignore air resistance.

Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
3000 W or 3 kW
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Work done = mgh = 500 × 10 × 12 = 60,000 J, so the power is 60,000 ÷ 20 = 3000 W.
