![A camera weighing 20 N falls from a small drone hovering 10 m
overhead and enters free fall. What is the gravitational potential energy
change of the camera from the drone to the ground if you take a reference
point of (a) the ground being zero gravitational potential energy? (b) The
drone being zero gravitational potential energy? What is the gravitational
potential energy of the camera (c) before it falls from the drone and (d)
after the camera lands on the ground if the reference point of zero
gravitational potential energy is taken to be a second person looking out
