Question

A ball that has a mechanical energy of 65 J has 12 J of kinetic energy. The ball has

Answer 1

Answer:

The ball has a potential energy of 53 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy, E = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

E = K.E + P.E

65 = 12 + P.E

P.E = 65 – 12

P.E = 53 J

Therefore the potential energy of the ball is 53 J
