Answer:

Answer: At its lowest point, the kinetic energy of a watermelon just as it touches the ground is zero if it does not touch anything on its way down.

Explanation:

This is because that upon having been dropped from a height, an object no longer has any kinetic energy at all. Kinetic energy transforms to gravitational potential energy during the fall and there's nothing left over for kinetic once you stop accelerating anymore. Fortunately, things don't stay still until they land very often! For example, if a person catches the fruit with his hands after some air resistance slows him down - making him more similar in speed to the lag of the trajectory - then he'll be able to share some of his saved up gravitational potential with that watermelon and do some
