Question

As a skydiver falls, his potential energy ___ and his kinetic energy __​

increases,increases
increases,decreases
decreases,increases
decreases, decreases

Answer 1

Hey there!

PE=mgh, so as height decreases, so does the potential energy.

KE=mv^2, so as velocity increases, kinetic energy increases.

Thus, the correct answer would be Decreases, Increases.

Let me know if this helps :)
