If a monkey drops a banana off of a cliff, where are the potential and kinetic energies of the banana equal?(1 point) Responses a quarter of the way down a quarter of the way down halfway down halfway down at the top at the top at the bottom

Answer 1

The potential and kinetic energies of the banana will be equal halfway down the cliff.

At the top of the cliff, the banana has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As it falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When it reaches the halfway point, the potential energy and kinetic energy are equal since they will have converted half of the initial potential energy into kinetic energy.
