Question

read the text about an object in motion. jasmine was driving her car on a road when she saw a red light ahead. she slowed the car to a stop along the flat road. complete the statement. assume that the cars mass did not change. the gravitational potential energy stored between the car and earth ______ as the car slowed to a stop. increased decreased stayed the same

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy ($U = mgh$) depends on mass ($m$), gravitational - acceleration ($g$), and height ($h$). Since the car is on a flat road and its mass and height relative to the Earth do not change as it slows down, the gravitational potential energy remains the same.

Answer:

stayed the same
