potential energy

Answer 2

are u sure

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Yes, I am sure. When the ball is held at the top of the table, it has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

As the ball is falling, its potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy.

Answer 5

b. As the ball is falling, what is happening to its energy?(1 point)

Answer 6

c. Just before the ball hits the ground, how are its speed and kinetic energy related?(1 point)

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The speed and kinetic energy of the ball are directly related. As the speed of the ball increases, its kinetic energy also increases.

Answer 8

A student is testing how mass impacts kinetic energy. From the same height on a diving board, she drops two balls into a swimming pool. One ball has a bigger mass than the other.

a. How would the splashes of the two balls compare?

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The splash created by the ball with a bigger mass would likely be larger and more powerful compared to the splash created by the ball with a smaller mass. This is because the ball with a bigger mass would have more kinetic energy, leading to a greater impact and displacement of water upon hitting the swimming pool.
