When throwing a ball from 1 to 7 positions, where would the energy be a position for?

1 answer

When throwing a ball from position 1 to position 7, the energy of the ball would be primarily kinetic energy. As the ball is thrown, it gains kinetic energy due to its motion. The kinetic energy depends on the mass of the ball and its velocity.

However, at different positions along the trajectory, the ball can also possess potential energy and gravitational potential energy. For example, when the ball is in position 1 (the starting position), it typically has gravitational potential energy, which is based on its height above the ground. As it moves along the trajectory, the gravitational potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

At position 7, the ball may also have potential energy, depending on the circumstances. If, for instance, position 7 is a higher elevation than position 1, the ball may have gravitational potential energy again.

In summary, the energy of the ball when thrown from position 1 to 7 primarily consists of kinetic energy, but potential energy can also come into play depending on the positions and heights involved.
