Question
A 2.5 kg falcon soaring at a height of 500 meters has a certain potential energy. Now suppose the
falcon were carrying a 1.0 kg snake. What would the new height be if the total potential energy
were to remain the same?

PE=mgh
2.5g*500=(2.5+1.0)g*h
solve for h.
2.5g*500=(2.5+1.0)g*h
solve for h.
