Kinetic energy question?
How many times would you have to drop a 20-pound turkey from a fifty foot high rooftop before the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy into heat energy at the end of the fall, will cook the turkey? Please show your work.

seems too much hard work to me... try putting it in the oven its a lot easier and less of an headache, for us to be working out!!!!
plus if the lift was not working , running up and down 50 flights of stairs, dont think youd have enough energy left to work it out!!!

Never.
Potential energy is only its potential, this method would not convert it in to its full kinetic/ heat energy. You would end up with a pretty messed up raw turkey
