Question

A student uses a ramp to push a box into the back of a truck. Which option describes when potential energy is converted into kinetic energy during this process? when the student puts their hands on the box when the box rests on the ground when the box sits at the top of the ramp when the student pushes the box up the ramp what is the awnser i cant fingur it out

Answer 1

Answer:

when the student pushes the box up the ramp

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of it's position.

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of it's motion.

When the box is stationary, it poseses only potential energy. However, once it is being pushed up a ramp, it's potential energy is now converted into kinetic energy.
