True or False. The football has gravitational potential energy because of its position above the ground. It also has kinetic energy because it is moving. The combined energy is called mechanical energy.Gravitational potential energy is the position it starts and the kinetic is the actual throwing of the ball. The combined energy is mechanical energy. If a pendulum is allowed to continue to swing, it will eventually stop.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The football has gravitational potential energy because of its position above the ground. ---- TRUE

Gravitational potential energy comes from the energy spent in lifting a body to a height against the gravitational pull by the earth.

It also has kinetic energy because it is moving. -------TRUE

Kinetic energy comes from the state of motion of an object .

The combined energy is called mechanical energy ----------- TRUE

Gravitational potential energy is the position it starts and the kinetic is the actual throwing of the ball. ---------------- FALSE

If a pendulum is allowed to continue to swing, it will eventually stop.

----------------------- FALSE

pendulum will stop only when some drag force is present in air , otherwise, it will continue to swing for infinite period of time.
