Question
(a) How much work Wg doesthe gravitational force do on the book as it drops to herhands?1 J
(b) What is the change U in the gravitationalpotential energy of the textbook-Earth system during the drop?
2 J
(c) If the gravitational potential energy of that system is zero atground level, what is its potential energy U when thetextbook is released?
3 J
(d) If the gravitational potential energy of that system is zero atground level, what is its potential energy U when thetextbook reaches the hands?
4 J
(e) How much work Wg is done on the textbook byits weight as it drops to your friend's hands if U is 100J at the ground level.
5 J
(f) What is the change U in the gravitationalpotential energy of the textbook-Earth system during the drop ifU is 100 J at the ground level.
