The question to the following answer:
A ball sits on a wooden shelf with 10 joules of potential energy. A little girl bumps into the shelf and the ball falls. About a quarter of the way down, the ball is shown to have 3 joules of kinetic energy. How many joules of potential energy will the ball have at that same moment?
