Directions: Consider a 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. It falls to the ground. Think about the amounts of potential and kinetic energy the bowling ball has:
• as it sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall.
• as it is half way through a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 19.8 meters per second.
as it is just about to hit the ground from a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 28 meters per second.
1. Does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy as it sit on top of the building? Why?
