Kinetic Energy
 

Kinetic Energy problem 23


Apple fruit is torn off the branch of a tree and falls to the ground. The apple fruit weighs 175 g and the branch is 3.2 m high. Neglecting air resistance:

  • does the apple have kinetic energy during the fall?

  • does the kinetic energy of the apple change during the fall? Clarify the answer.

  • What is the kinetic energy of the apple just before it falls to the ground?
