A camera weighing 10 N falls from a small drone hovering 34 m overhead and enters free fall. What is the gravitational potential energy change of the camera from the drone to the ground if you take a reference point of a. the ground being zero gravitational potential energy? APE = J b. The drone being zero gravitational potential energy? APE = J What is the gravitational potential energy of the camera (with the reference point of zero gravitational potential energy taken to be a second person looking out of a building 30 m above the ground) c. before it falls from the drone? PE= J d. after the camera lands on the ground? PE= J
