Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

rock falls from 30 m

at height of 30 m  it potential energy =mgh=m*10*30            ( i have taken g=10m/s^2 you can use 9.8)

                                                          =300m J

at ground kinetic energy =4392


Potential energy of rock is totally converted kinetic energy

4392=300m

m=14.64 kg


if answer is wrong discusss.

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
