Pre AP - Unit 10 Test - Part 1

While the ball is falling,

• its total energy is decreasing
• its total energy is increasing
• its potential energy is increasing and its kinetic energy is decreasing
• its potential energy is decreasing and its kinetic energy is increasing

The moment just as the ball hits the ground,

• it has only potential energy
• it has only kinetic energy
• it has potential and kinetic energy
• it has no energy

Before you drop the ball,

• it has only potential energy
• it has only kinetic energy
• it has potential and kinetic energy
• it has no energy

King Kong is standing on top of a very high skyscraper at rest. Which of the following is true?
