• A second circuit.

How does the height from which an object is dropped affects the amount of energy it transfers?

• The height of an object is not a variable that affects the amount of energy that is transferred.

• An object will transfer less energy if it is dropped from a higher position.

• An object will transfer more energy if it is dropped from a higher position.

• The height from which an object is dropped does not involve energy transfer at all.
