    Undergrad Potential energy and kinetic energy in book-Earth system examples

    I have two simple examples of potential energy and kinetic energy. First example: Imagine a book on the ground and I want to lift it.At first I apply a force just a little more than the gravitational force of the Earth so that it has some velocity. After the book gets that velocity, I keep my...
