Answer

a) At h = 20m, KE = 0 J GPE = 392 J Total E = 392 J b) At h = 10m, KE = 196 J GPE = 196 J Total E = 392 J c) At h = 0m, KE = 392 J GPE = 0 J Total E = 392 J

Work Step by Step

a) At h = 20m GPE = mg$\Delta$h = 2(9.8)(20) = 392 J KE = 0 J Total E = 392 J b) At h = 10m, GPE = mg$\Delta$h = 2(9.8)(10) = 196 J Total E = 392 J KE = Total E - GPE = 392 - 196 = 196 J c) At h = 0m, GPE = 0 J Total E = 392 J KE = 392 J
