Which objects have both potential and kinetic energy? Check all that apply.



a boulder resting on top of a mountain


a sky diver who is midway through his descent to the ground


a falling raindrop


a parked car


a roller coaster car halfway down the second hill


Respuesta :

A falling raindrop
Kinetic energy and potential energy are both applied when a body or object is falling.

Answer:

a sky diver who is midway through his descent to the ground

a roller coaster car halfway down the second hill

a falling raindrop

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is mechanical energy. A body has potential energy due to its position or configuration and kinetic energy due to its speed.

A body can have both potential energy and kinetic energy.

The correct options are:

  • a sky diver who is midway through his descent to the ground
  • a roller coaster car halfway down the second hill
  • a falling raindrop

A boulder resting on top of a mountain  has just potential energy.

A parked car  also has just potential energy.
