Question

Which statement best describes the relationship between a baseball’s potential and kinetic energy after it is thrown? (assume the ball travels in a straight line)(1 point)
Responses

Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.
Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy does not change, and kinetic energy decreases.
Potential energy does not change, and kinetic energy decreases.

Potential and kinetic energy both decrease.
Potential and kinetic energy both decrease.

Potential energy increases, and kinetic energy does not change.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Answer 2

are you 100% sure?

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. The correct statement should be: Potential energy does not change, and kinetic energy increases.

Answer 4

that is not an option

Answer 5

My apologies once again. The correct statement should be: Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Answer 6

A student bounces a tennis ball. She drops the ball, and then it bounces back up to her. When does the ball have zero kinetic energy?(1 point)
