claire is investigating potential and kinetic energy using a large ball. for her investigation, claire will stand at the top of a hill and push the ball down the hill. the picture shows claire's investigation. how will the ball's potential and kinetic energy change as it rolls down the hill? responses the ball's potential energy will increase, and its kinetic energy will decrease. the ball's potential energy will increase, and its kinetic energy will decrease. the ball's potential and kinetic energy will both decrease. the ball's potential and kinetic energy will both decrease. the ball's potential and kinetic energy will both increase. the ball's potential and kinetic energy will both increase. the ball's potential energy will decrease, and its kinetic energy will increase. the ball's potential energy will decrease, and its kinetic energy will increase.



Answer :

As the ball is pushed from the top of hill, its potential energy will decrease and Kinetic energy will increase.

The ball is pushed from height, it starts moving/rolling and it gains some velocity, so it would definitely gain some Kinetic energy as

K.E. = [tex]\frac{mv^{2} }{2}[/tex]

The ball was initially at some height so it had some Potential Energy which is given as

P.E. = mgh

Where m is mass, h is height and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

So according to Law of Conservation of Energy, the potential energy will decrease as the kinetic energy starts increasing due to the gained velocity.
