A ball is dropped from a height. As it falls, what happens to its Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) and Kinetic Energy (KE)?
Show Worked Solution
Worked Solution
Step 1: Height decreases as the ball falls, so GPE decreases.
Step 2: Speed increases as the ball falls, so KE increases.
Step 3: Energy is being converted from GPE to KE.
Correct answer: GPE decreases, KE increases
