In an investigation of potential and kinetic energy, a student stands at the top of a hill and pushes a ball down the hill as shown.

How does the potential and kinetic energy of the ball change as the ball rolls down the hill?

C
The potential energy of the ball increases, and the kinetic energy of the ball decreases.

• The potential and kinetic energy of the ball both increase.

O The potential and kinetic energy of the ball both decrease.

The potential energy of the ball decreases, and the kinetic energy of the ball increases.

The correct answer is: The potential energy of the ball decreases, and the kinetic energy of the ball increases.
