Answer:

Of an object rolling down an inclined plane, the potential energy decreases as the kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

  • An object that is located at a certain height is constantly being pulled down by the gravitational force of the planet.
  • Thus, the potential of an object to come back to the ground when suspended freely is referred to as potential energy possessed by the object.
  • When a spherical object is set free on an inclined plane, it automatically gains motion.
  • As long as the object continues to roll down the inclination, it is said to have kinetic energy.
