The student claims that a ball dropped 3.0 meters would have fewer than 96 joules of kinetic energy upon hitting the ground. Is she correct? Why?

She is wrong. The higher the drop, the less kinetic the ball will have upon hitting the ground.

On the ramp shown below, a student releases two identical objects at different starting points. The student releases Object 1 first. The diagram below shows the positions of Objects 1 and 2 in motion.

Which has the highest kinetic energy?

(1 point)
Responses

Object 1
Object 1

Object 2
Object 2

Both objects have the same kinetic energy.
Both objects have the same kinetic energy.

Both objects have zero kinetic energy.
Both objects have zero kinetic energy.
Since there is no diagram or information provided about the positions or velocities of Objects 1 and 2, it is not possible to determine which object has the highest kinetic energy.
