3. When an object is in motion, it possesses what type of energy?(1 point)
Responses
thermal energy
thermal energy
kinetic energy
kinetic energy
potential energy
potential energy
chemical energy
The correct response is kinetic energy. Kinetic energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
r u sure
Yes, I am sure. When an object is in motion, it possesses kinetic energy.
5. An object’s gravitational potential energy depends on the object’s mass, the strength of the gravitational field, and what other variable?(1 point)
Responses
the shape of the object
the shape of the object
the speed of the object
the speed of the object
the object's height from the ground
the object's height from the ground
the color of the object
The correct response is the object's height from the ground. An object's gravitational potential energy is directly related to its height from the reference point, usually the ground.
are u sure
Yes, I am sure. An object's gravitational potential energy depends on its mass, the strength of the gravitational field, and its height from the ground. The shape of the object, the speed of the object, and the color of the object do not affect its gravitational potential energy.
