Consider a rock interacting gravitationally with the earth, and choose the interaction’s potential energy to be zero if the rock is at the ground level. A person standing at the bottom of a well throws the rock vertically upward from 20 m below ground level. The rock makes it all the way up to 1 m below ground level before falling back into the well. The total energy of the rock–earth system is

A. negative. B. zero. C. positive (in this particular case). D. positive (because energy is always positive). E. The answer depends on information not specified.
