A student drops a ball three different times.


The table shows the ball’s kinetic energy upon hitting the ground from different heights.



The student claims that a ball dropped 3.0 meters would have fewer than 96 joules of kinetic energy upon hitting the ground. Is she correct? Why?

She is wrong. The higher the drop, the more kinetic energy the ball will have upon hitting the ground.
She is wrong. The higher the drop, the more kinetic energy the ball will have upon hitting the ground.

She is wrong. The higher the drop, the less kinetic the ball will have upon hitting the ground.

The factor that impacts the kinetic energy of an object is:

**Mass and speed**

Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \), where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its speed. Therefore, the correct response is:

**Mass and speed**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The student is incorrect in her claim. The correct response is:

**She is wrong. The higher the drop, the more kinetic energy the ball will have upon hitting the ground.**

As a ball is dropped from a greater height, it converts more potential energy into kinetic energy just before it hits the ground, resulting in a greater kinetic energy. Thus, a ball dropped from 3.0 meters will have more than 96 joules of kinetic energy upon impact, depending on the mass of the ball.

In a roller coaster, the kinetic energy is highest at the lowest point of the track, where the speed of the coaster is greatest after descending from heights. Typically, this would be at point B if following a standard vertical drop configuration.

So, based on this context, the correct response would be:

**B**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
In a scenario where two identical objects are released from the same starting position on a ramp, both objects will convert their gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy as they move down the ramp.

If Object 1 has already started moving and is further down the ramp while Object 2 is still at the starting position, then Object 1 would have the highest kinetic energy.

However, if both objects are released at the same time and are moving down the ramp simultaneously, they would have the same kinetic energy at corresponding points of their descent, as they are identical and started from the same height.

Without additional information on their precise positions relative to each other, the safest assumption is:

**Object 1** (if it is further along the ramp and moving faster).

If both are together on the ramp, then the correct response would be:

**Both objects have the same kinetic energy.**

Please choose the response based on the specific context provided in the question!

Kendra's kinetic energy while rolling down the hill is highest at the bottom of the hill right before she stops rolling. At this point, she would be moving at the greatest speed, having converted potential energy to kinetic energy as she descended.

The correct response is:

**at the bottom of the hill right before she stops rolling.**

The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \), where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the speed of the object. Since the mass is equal for both cars, the car with the greatest speed will have more kinetic energy.

The correct response is:

**the car with the greatest speed.**
