Question

A student uses a lever and fulcrum to lift a rock off the ground.

Which option describes when potential energy is converted into kinetic energy during this process?


a. when the lever is wedged beneath the rock but before it has been lifted

b. when the student presses down on one side of the lever to cause it to move

c. when the rock rests on the ground without the lever

d. when the rock rests above the ground

Answer 1

B is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:B

Explanation: I know this because kinetic energy is when something is moving and potential energy is when something is not moving and the energy is being stored so it has you are pushing on the other side moving the object it is transforming the potential energy also known as stored energy into movement also known as kinetic energy
