What happens to the sum of the ball’s kinetic energy and potential energy as the ball rolls from point A to point E? Assume ther
e’s no friction between the ball and the ground. An image shows a curve that starts at point A, decreases at B, then increases at C and D, and ends at E. A. The sum decreases. B. The sum increases. C. The sum remains the same. D. The sum always equals zero
The sum of the ball's kinetic energy and potential energy remains the same. as the ball rolls from point A to E.( if there is no friction between the ball and the ground).
based on the law of mechanical energy's conservation, the sum of both kinetic and potential energies i.e. the total amount of mechanical energy remain conserved even in the absence of dissipative forces ( friction or air resistance) in a bound system.
the kinetic energy is when ball goes downward but potential energy decreases and reverse happens when ball goes up. but in these case, the sum energy would be constant one.
