A student drops a ball three different times.
The table shows the ball’s kinetic energy upon hitting the ground from different heights.
height of drop (meters) 1.0 1.5 2.0
kinetic energy(joules) 48 72 96
The student claims that a ball dropped 3.0 meters would have fewer than 96 joules of kinetic energy upon hitting the ground. Is she correct? Why?

She is right! The higher the drop, the less kinetic energy the ball will have upon hitting the ground.

On the ramp shown below, a student releases two identical objects at different starting points. The student releases Object 1 first. The diagram below shows the positions of Objects 1 and 2 in motion.
Which has the highest kinetic energy?
(1 point)
Responses
Object 1
Object 1
Object 2
Object 2
Both objects have the same kinetic energy.
Both objects have the same kinetic energy.
Both objects have zero kinetic energy.
The information provided is insufficient to determine which object has the highest kinetic energy.
