Answer:
A. The potential energy could be increasing like a ball thrown into the air
C. the ball could be returning to its natural resisting state
Explanation:
When an object is in motion, the energy of the object changes to and from each type. When the energy slows down then there is also changes in energy forms.
The potential energy of any object in motion like throwing a ball in the ball always increases because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the object. When a ball is thrown up the kinetic energy converted into potential energy ad the ball reaches at maximum height which increase the potential energy of the object in motion. But after attaining the maximum height the, potential energy decreases and object falls back towards the earth.
Kinetic energy could not lost the friction because friction only prevent sliding not to prevent motion and potential energy lost it resistance while it convert into kinetic energy. So when the energy slows down it convert into potential energy converted into kinetic but kinetic energy could not lost the friction.
According to Newton's law of inertia, the ball could be returning to its natural resisting state as every object has tendency to resist changes in its velocity.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that total energy of a system remain same but kinetic energy and potential energy do not remain same.
Hence, the correct option ar:
A. The potential energy could be increasing like a ball thrown into the air.
C. the ball could be returning to its natural resisting state.
