Question

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 increase. The object's potential energy will increase. The object's potential energy will stay the same. The object's potential energy will stay the same. The object's potential energy will decrease. The object's potential energy will decrease. The object's potential energy will be zero.

Answer 1

The correct response is: The object's potential energy will increase.

When Lucy lifts the object above her head, she is raising it to a higher position in the gravitational field, which increases its gravitational potential energy.
