Which statement best describes the relationship between a baseball’s potential and kinetic energy after it is thrown? (assume the ball travels in a straight line)(1 point)

Question

Responses

Potential and kinetic energy both decrease.
Potential and kinetic energy both decrease.

Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.
Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy does not change, and kinetic energy decreases.
Potential energy does not change, and kinetic energy decreases.

Potential energy increases, and kinetic energy does not change.
Potential energy increases, and kinetic energy does not change.

Answer 1

The correct statement is "Potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases."
