Question

identify whether the bold-faced object described below possesses kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, both forms of energy, or neither form of energy.

the point guard on the basketball team heads down the court at high speed.

kinetic energy gravitational potential energy
both of these none of these

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The point guard is moving at high speed, so they have kinetic energy. Gravitational potential energy depends on height relative to a reference; since the point guard is on a basketball court (not at a significantly elevated height relative to the court's surface for gravitational PE to be a factor here), we focus on kinetic energy from their motion.

Answer:

Kinetic Energy
