Question
a coconut is falling from a palm tree. when does the coconut have the most gravitational potential energy? position 1 position 2 position 3
Brief Explanations
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) depends on an object's mass, gravity, and height ($GPE = mgh$). For the coconut, mass and gravity are constant, so GPE is highest at the greatest height. Position 1 is the highest among the three positions.
