thermal

Question 17

A 20-kg ball and a 50-kg ball rest at the top of a ramp. Which statement best describes the potential energy of the balls?

Accepted Answer

The 50-kg ball has the greater potential energy because it has the greater mass.

Answer

The 20-kg ball has the greater potential energy because it has less inertia.

Answer

They have the same potential energy because their positions are the same.

Answer

They have the same potential energy because gravity has the same effect on each one.
