When a tennis ball is dropped, potential energy is destroyed and kinetic energy is created.
|
True
|
|
False
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As the ball falls towards the ground, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the ball will continue increasing as the ball gains momentum, until it finally collides with a surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -It can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be altered. Whenever you use or store energy, you deal with potential or kinetic energy. Read on as we discuss these two energy forms in greater detail and explore the relationship between them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, When an object is dropped from a height, its potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases till it reaches the ground.
