Question

Fill in the blanks with GPE (Gravitational potential energy) or KE (Kinetic energy)

Consider the concepts of kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE) as you complete these questions. A ball is held 1.4 meters above the floor. Use the terms KE of GPE as your answers.

In fact, in the absence of air resistance, the amount of ____ energy when the ball is held motionless above the floor equals the amount of ____ energy at impact with the floor.

Answer 1

In fact, in the absence of air resistance, the amount of GPE (Gravitational potential energy) energy when the ball is held motionless above the floor equals the amount of KE (Kinetic energy) energy at impact with the floor.
