The potential energy of the banana is at its maximum at the top of the cliff, and it decreases as the banana falls. On the other hand, the kinetic energy of the banana is zero at the top of the cliff because the banana is initially at rest, and it increases as the banana falls due to its increasing velocity.
The potential energy and kinetic energy of the banana are equal when the banana is halfway down the cliff. At this point, the potential energy has decreased by half, and the kinetic energy has increased by half.
Therefore, the answer is option D: halfway down the cliff.
If a monkey dropped a banana off of a cliff, where are the potential energy and kinetic energy of the bananas equal.
A at the bottom
B at the top
