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

Answer 1

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

When Lucy lifts the object above her head, she increases its height above the ground, which raises its gravitational potential energy. Potential energy is calculated based on the height of an object in relation to a reference point, so lifting the object increases its potential energy.
