400
You drop a physics textbook, whose mass is 2.0 kg, to a friend who is standing on the ground 10 m below. This is the potential energy of the book just before
you release it, its kinetic energy just before your friend catches it in her outstretched hands, which are 1.5 m above the ground level, and the book's velocity just before it is caught.
What is PE = 196 J, KE = 167 J, and 12.9 m/s?
