Question

3 read the following sentences from the text. \as the ball soars up into the sky, it begins to slow down. the force of gravity is pulling down on the ball, even though the force of the star kickers foot sent the ball sky high. as the ball soars through the air, its kinetic energy turns into gravitational potential energy; it slows down as it gets higher. when the ball reaches its highest point, it has its greatest amount of potential energy, and no kinetic energy at all. for just a moment, its completely still, up in the air. at this point, the downward force of earths gravitational pull has equaled the upward force of the star kickers kick. then, once the ball begins to arc downwards, the potential energy changes back into kinetic energy.\ what conclusion can you draw from this evidence?

Explanation:

The text describes the conversion between kinetic and potential energy of a ball in motion due to gravity. Energy is conserved as it changes forms during upward and downward - motion.

Answer:

Energy is conserved and converts between kinetic and potential forms as the ball moves under the influence of gravity.
