A student fires a toy rocket into the sky. When does the rocket have the most potential energy?
O when the rocket hits the ground
O when the rocket reaches its highest point
• when the rocket has the most fuel
O when the rocket reaches its greatest velocity
The rocket has the most potential energy when it reaches its highest point. Potential energy is related to the height or elevation of an object, so when the rocket is at its highest point, it has the maximum potential energy.
