Question

Claire is investigating potential and kinetic energy using a large ball. For her investigation, Claire will stand at the top of a hill and push the ball down the hill. The picture shows Claire's investigation
How will the ball's potential and kinetic energy change as it rolls down the hill?
Group of answer choices

The ball's potential energy will increase, and its kinetic energy will decrease.

The ball's potential energy will decrease, and its kinetic energy will increase.

The ball's potential and kinetic energy will both decrease.

The ball's potential and kinetic energy will both increase.

Answer 1

The ball's potential energy will decrease, and its kinetic energy will increase.

Explanation:

The ball's potential energy will decrease down the slope and its kinetic energy will increase.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

 K. E = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

 m is the mass of the ball

  v is the velocity of the ball.

Potential energy is the energy due to the motion of a body down slope.

It is expressed as:

   P.E = mgh

  m is the mass of ball

   g is the acceleration due to gravity of the body

  h is the height.

We can see as the body drops down the slope, the height diminishes and the velocity increases.
