Introduction to Energy

Question 9 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Johanna is studying what happens to the energy as a ball rolls down a ramp. What is one form of energy that she is studying?

Answer
A
gravitational potential energy
B
electrical energy
C
chemical energy
D
elastic potential energy

Explanation

As the ball rolls down the ramp, its height decreases, so its gravitational potential energy changes and is converted mainly into kinetic energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has because of its position above the ground. Therefore, the form she is studying is gravitational potential energy.
