Answer 3

Lucy picks up an object from the floor. How will the potential energy change if Lucy lifts the object above her head?(1 point)
Responses

The object's potential energy will be zero.
The object's potential energy will be zero.

The object's potential energy will stay the same.
The object's potential energy will stay the same.

The object's potential energy will increase.
The object's potential energy will increase.

The object's potential energy will decrease.

Answer 4

What does a graph showing the relationship between an object’s gravitational potential energy and the object's height above the ground look like

Answer 5

Mass and position

Answer 6

the height of the object

Answer 7

In order to determine which object has the most potential energy, we need more information about the objects being compared (A, B, and C). Without knowing the specific characteristics of these objects, we cannot accurately determine which one has the most potential energy.

Answer 8

The object's potential energy will increase.

Answer 9

A graph showing the relationship between an object's gravitational potential energy and its height above the ground would typically be a straight line that increases as the height increases. The graph would have a positive slope indicating that as the height increases, the potential energy also increases.
