Jeff is part of a trekking team. As he climbs a hill, he drops his water bottle, which has a mass of 0.25 kilograms. The bottle
slides down the hill and is moving at a velocity of 14 meters/second the instant it hits the ground. The vertical height from where Jeff dropped the bottle is ___ meters. Ignore friction, and use K E = 1/2 MV², PE = m × g × h, and g = 9.8 m/s2.

This is because the earth is way heavier than Jessica hence has a greater force of gravity applied on Jessica that Jessica applies to earth. The distance between the Earth and Jessica is also very short hence the force of gravity on Jessica towards earth is greater. According to Newton's laws that states; if an unbalanced force acts on an object, it will change the object's state of motion (the object will accelerate). The earth cause Jesica to ‘accelerate’ towards the ‘core’ when she stumbles.
