Question 1 • 350CR Integrated Science

Which objects have both potential and kinetic energy? Check all that apply.a boulder resting on top of a mountaina sky diver who is midway through his descent to the grounda falling raindropa parked cara roller coaster car halfway down the second hill

Answer
A
a boulder resting on top of a mountain
B
a sky diver who is midway through his descent to the ground
C
a falling raindrop
D
a parked car
E
a roller coaster car halfway down the second hill

Explanation

An object has kinetic energy when it is moving and gravitational potential energy when it is elevated above the ground. The sky diver midway through the descent, the falling raindrop, and the roller coaster car halfway down the hill are all moving while still above the ground, so each has both forms of energy. The resting boulder and parked car are not moving, so they do not have kinetic energy.
