Question
**Problem Description:**

While leaning out a window that is **6.4 m** above the ground, you drop a **0.60 kg** basketball to a friend at ground level. Your friend catches the ball at a height of **2.0 m** above the ground. Determine the following:

(a) The amount of work done (in J) by the force of gravity on the ball

[Input Box] J

(b) The gravitational potential energy (in J) of the ball-earth system, relative to the ground when it is released

[Input Box] J

(c) The gravitational potential energy (in J) of the ball-earth system, relative to the ground when it is caught

[Input Box] J

(d) The ratio of the change (\( \Delta PE_f - \Delta PE_0 \)) in the gravitational potential energy of the ball-earth system to the work done on the ball by the force of gravity

\[ \frac{\Delta PE}{W} \]

[Input Box]
