At Point A, the product is ready to fall. The potential energy at this moment is: 13.5 where At Point C, the kinetic energy of the system is given by 13.6 13.7 which show that the kinetic energy at this moment is equal to the initial potential energy of the system. In the moments following the initial contact of the container with the impact surface, the amount of energy absorbed by the linear cushion is: 13.8 PE = M2 gh =W2 h W2 = M2 g 2 2 2 1 I KE = M v KE M 2 (2gh) M 2 gh W2 h 2 1 = = = 2 2 2 2 1 E = k xAt Point A, the product is ready to fall.
