Answer:

At the maximum height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

Mathematically, it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the formula, we see that the potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the object above the ground: therefore, the larger the value of h, the larger the potential energy of the object.

Therefore, the object has the maximum potential energy when it is at the highest position above the ground.

Which phrase describes an electromagnetic wave

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

<u>a transverse wave consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields.</u>

Explanation:

An electromagnetic wave is a wave generated by the vibration of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, which may progate through vacuum (empty space) or a material medium.

All electromagnetic waves propagate at the same speed in vacuum. This speed is approximately 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s. Which is generally referred as the speed of light, but it is the same constant speed of any electromagnetic wave in the vacuum, c.

In general, waves transfer energy when they travel, but only electromagnetic waves can travel in vacuum. The waves that cannot travel in vacuum are named mechanical waves (they need a medium to travel).

There are two types of waves depending on how they propagate: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. The transverse waves travel perperdiculary to the direcction of the vibration, while longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the vibration.

The classical example of transverse waves is a rope that oscilates up and down. The classical example of longitudinal waves is a spring that you pull and push by an end and so it moves forward and back. Sound is also a longitudinal wave.
