Question

your lab partner tosses you a ball. as she throws the ball up in the air it follows this arc. where is potential energy the lowest? select all that apply. a point a, b point b, c point c, d point d, e they are all the same.

Explanation:

Potential energy (PE) in the context of gravitational potential energy is given by \( PE = mgh \), where \( m \) is mass, \( g \) is acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is height above a reference point. Lower height means lower potential energy. Points A and D are at the lowest height (near the horizontal axis) compared to B (higher than A/D) and C (highest point). So potential energy is lowest at A and D.

Answer:

A. point A, D. point D
