Study Notes
GPE of a Falling Object
- The GPE of a falling object becomes negative when the object is below the reference level, typically the ground.
- The GPE of a falling object reaches its maximum when the object is at its highest point, which is usually the starting point.
- The GPE of a falling object is zero when the object is at the reference level, which is usually the ground or the point from which the object is dropped.
