Suppose you pour a gallon of water on a yowling cat 10 ft below your bedroom window. How much potential energy ( ft ⋅ l b f ) (ft·lbf) does the water lose? How fast is the water traveling (ft/s) just before impact? True or false: Energy must be conserved, therefore the kinetic energy of the water before impact must equal the kinetic energy of the cat after impact. If you decide the answer is false, what happens to most of the kinetic energy that the water possessed just before impact?
