2. The picture shows a baseball moving through the air after it is thrown.
Which graph shows how the kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) of the baseball changes as it moves?

Unfortunately, you did not provide the options for the graph. Can you please provide the options for the graphs?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see the picture or the given options for the graphs. Please provide more information or specify the options for me to assist you further.
To determine which graph shows how the kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) of the baseball changes as it moves, you would need to understand the concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is given by the formula KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m represents the mass of the object and v represents its velocity.
Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or condition. In the case of a baseball moving through the air, the relevant form of potential energy is gravitational potential energy. It is given by the formula PE = m * g * h, where m represents the mass of the object, g represents the acceleration due to gravity, and h represents the height from a reference point (typically the ground).
Given this information, you would need to look at the graphs provided and determine how the kinetic energy and potential energy change as the baseball moves.
Unfortunately, without the actual graphs, it is not possible to provide a specific response about which graph shows how the kinetic energy and potential energy change. However, you should look for patterns or trends in the graphs that would indicate the change in either energy as the baseball moves. For example, if the kinetic energy graph shows a continuous increase while the potential energy graph remains constant, it would indicate a conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as the baseball moves.
By carefully analyzing the graphs and understanding the concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy, you should be able to determine which graph shows how these energies change as the baseball moves.
