a. Sharon reminded Bruce that the basketball had energy as it fell. This energy of motion is called
kinetic energy
. Bruce agreed and said this energy of motion was
greatest
right before the ball hit the ground.
b. Then Bruce recalled that the ball originally had stored energy as it sat on the wall. This stored energy is called
potential energy
. Sharon explained that this stored energy
as the ball fell.

b. Then Bruce recalled that the ball originally had stored energy as it sat on the wall. This stored energy is called potential energy. Sharon explained that this stored energy converted to kinetic energy as the ball fell.
Yes, I'm sure. The conversation correctly describes the concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy:
If you meant for the last blank in part b to be something else or if you need clarification, please let me know!
Got it! Here’s an alternative for the last blank in part b:
b. Then Bruce recalled that the ball originally had stored energy as it sat on the wall. This stored energy is called potential energy. Sharon explained that this stored energy decreases as the ball fell.
This way, it highlights the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy as the ball moves. Let me know if you need any further adjustments!
You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy studying!
