A coconut falls out of a tree 12.0 m
above the ground and hits a bystander 3.00 m tall on the top of the head. It bounces back up 1.50 m before
falling to the ground. If the mass
of the coconut is 2.00 kg, calculate the potential energy of the coconut relative
to the ground at each of the following sites:
(a)
while it is still in the tree,
(b)
when it hits the bystander on the head,
(c)
when it bounces up to its maximum height,
(d)
when it lands on the ground,
(e)
when it rolls into a groundhog hole, and falls 2.50 m to the bottom of the
hole.
is the answer n/1?
