Potential and Kinetic Energy

Question 3 • GCSS_Physical Science_IC

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, what is being done?

Answer
A
compression
B
work
C
radiation
D
energy creation

Explanation

Work is done when a force transfers energy to or from an object. As Jerome swings, gravity transfers energy between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy; the energy changes form rather than being created. Therefore, the correct choice is work.
