What is his potential energy? c. What type of energy does he have at the bottom of the hill? d. What is his speed at the bottom of the hill, after he slides down it? e. The hill has a river at the bottom, that causes two things. First is a vertical drop of 2m, second is a horizontal gap. What distance is the gap if Timmy makes the jump? Here you may also assume that at the bottom of the hill Timmy flies horizontally off.arrow_forwardYou take a 13kg bag of lead pellets and drop it from 2m above the ground.a.
