Question

which object has the most potential energy? (1 point)
an acorn sitting on a roof
a soccer ball rolling across a field
a shovel on the ground
a person walking down a hallway

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Potential energy is related to an object's position. The higher an object is above the ground (in a gravitational field), the more potential energy it has. The acorn on the roof is at a height above the ground. The soccer ball rolling has kinetic energy (energy of motion). The shovel on the ground has no height - related potential energy (assuming ground level as a reference). The person walking has kinetic energy.

Answer:

an acorn sitting on a roof
