Question

kinetic energy is the energy of 10 points motion potential gravity distance which of the following is the best example of increasing an objects potential energy? 10 points rolling a bowling ball turning on a light bulb stretching a rubber band dropping a pencil

Explanation:

• Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. Potential energy is stored energy. Gravity is a force, and distance is a measurement. So for the first question, kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
• For the second question, stretching a rubber band increases its elastic potential energy. Rolling a bowling ball gives it kinetic energy. Turning on a light bulb converts electrical energy to light and heat. Dropping a pencil decreases its gravitational potential energy.

Answer:

• First question: motion
• Second question: stretching a rubber band
