Question

Johanna is studying what happens to the energy as a ball rolls down a ramp. What is she studying? Check all that apply. gravitational potential energy electrical energy kinetic energy mechanical energy elastic potential energy

Answer 1

kinetic energy


because the ball rolling

Answer 2

• gravitational potential energy
• kinetic energy
• mechanical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy possessed by body due to virtue of position is gravitational potential energy and due to motion is known as kinetic energy.

The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is the mechanical energy. Energy can convert from one form to another but it cannot be created or destroyed.

When ball is at the top of the ramp, it possesses gravitational potential energy which converts to kinetic energy as it rolls down the ramp. The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy i.e. mechanical energy is always constant. Thus she must be studying about these three energies.
