Question

A baseball is hit into the air with a bat. When does the baseball have the greatest gravitational potential energy? When it hits the ground. When it leaves the bat. When it reaches its highest point. Wh

Answer 1

When the ball is on the ground there and not moving there is no potential or kinetic energy. When the ball is tossed into the air it will reach a maximum height which is determined by how much kinetic energy. That means that when the baseball reaches its highest point, it has the most gravitational potential energy. Hopefully this helped:)
