if a monkey dropped a banana off a cliff, where are the potential and kinetic energy of the banana equal.

Question

1. At the bottom.
2. A quarter of the way down.
3. Halfway down.
4. At the top.

Answer 1

The potential and kinetic energy of the banana are equal at the bottom of the cliff. This is because as the banana falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. At the bottom, all of its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
