are you sure?
Yes, I am sure. When an object is in motion, it possesses kinetic energy.
. In the diagram below, two objects of the same size and mass are released from rest at the starting position. Object 1 was released before Object 2 was released. The diagram below shows the positions of Objects 1 and 2 a short time after both were released.
Which object in the figure has the least amount of kinetic energy?
(1 point)
Responses
Object 1
Object 1
Object 2
Object 2
Both objects have the same amount of kinetic energy.
Both objects have the same amount of kinetic energy.
Neither object has any kinetic energy.
Neither object has any kinetic energy.
are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. If both objects were released from rest at the same starting position, and if they have the same size and mass, then both objects would have the same amount of kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is: Both objects have the same amount of 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 height or the distance the object is from the reference point or ground.
6. If you are at an amusement park and you ride a slingshot, how does your potential energy compare to your kinetic energy at the top of the shot?

Responses
The kinetic energy and potential energy are the same.
The kinetic energy and potential energy are the same.
The kinetic energy is twice the amount of potential energy.
The kinetic energy is twice the amount of potential energy.
The kinetic energy is less than potential energy.
The kinetic energy is less than potential energy.
Kinetic energy is greater than potential energy.
