Question

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof

illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into kinetic energy.
What is wrong with your friend's statement?
A. Gravitational potential energy transforms into kinetic
energy when an object falls.
B. Gravitational potential energy transforms into electric
potential energy when an object falls.
C. Gravitational potential energy transforms into elastic
potential energy when an object falls.
D. Gravitational potential energy transforms into chemical
potential energy when an object falls.

Answer 1

A would be what was wrong with ur friends statement

Answer 2

Gravitational potential energy transforms into kinetic energy when an object falls, not when it rises. (A)

On the way up, the object moves slower and slower as it loses kinetic energy, and it gains gravitational potential energy as it goes higher and higher.
