Question

Ball A was carried to the top of a hill in a straight line, while ball B was carried in a longer, zigzag path. At the top of the hill, both balls were left at rest. A student draws a graph that depicts each ball's final potential energy. Which statement describes the final potential energy of the balls?

Answer 1

The final potential energy of both balls will be the same, since they are both at rest at the top of the hill.
