Question

question 22 of 27 a tree limb is blown loose from a tree during a storm. as it falls, it gains speed. which type of energy is the tree limb gaining as it falls? a. light energy b. nuclear energy c. gravitational potential energy d. kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. As the tree - limb falls and gains speed (motion), it gains kinetic energy. Gravitational potential energy decreases as it falls. Light energy and nuclear energy are not relevant here.

Answer:

D. Kinetic energy
