Question

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, ________ is being done.

Answer 1

the answer is b) work is being done

Answer 2

Explanation:

A force that leads to movement of an object is known as work.

The energy present in an object due to its position in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

For example, when Jerome is swinging on a rope then there occurs movement in the swing due to which the swing has kinetic energy.

Since, a force has been applied on the swing to make it move. Hence, a work is also done.

Therefore, we can conclude that if Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.
