Question: a smart monkey uses a vine to lower a coconut down from a tree branch 3 3 . 0 m from the ground. the coconuts

a smart monkey uses a vine to lower a coconut down from a tree branch 33.0m from the ground. the coconuts mass is 1.44kg
a) determine the work done on the coconut by gravity
b) calculate the kinetic energy of the coconut when it is lowered at a constant speed of 2.00m/s down to the ground
c) deterkine the change in potential energy of the coconut when it reaches the ground
d) the vine snaps when the coconut has only been lowered 5.00 metres. determine its change in kinetic energy from the point the vine snaps to when it hits the ground
