A 2.00 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 10.0 m well. after the coin comes to a stop in the mud, what is its potential energy with respect to the surface?
When an object falls to the ground under the action of gravity.
The numerical value of this
acceleration is usually denoted by the symbol g.
It will be -mgh
- 0.002 x 9.8 x10 = -0.196 J
