Question

7. As kids sled down a hill: (3pt)
a. Their potential energy will _____________ (increase, decrease, or stay the same).
b. Their kinetic energy will _____________ (increase, decrease, or stay the same).
c. Their total energy (PE + KE) will _____________ (increase, decrease, or stay the same).

Answer 1

1. increase
2. decrease
3. stay the same

Answer 2

Answer:

a. decrease

b. increase

c. stay the same

Explanation:

Potential energy is when there's no movement

Kinetic energy is when there is movement

The total energy will stay the same bc the kinetic energy is at 100 (or increasing to 100) while the potential energy is at 0 (or decreasing to 0)
