Question

using the passage and the graphic. answer the following questions. potential and kinetic energy potential energy is energy that is stored in a person or object. often, the person or object has potential energy because of its position or shape. potential energy is energy that is stored in a person or object and is also dependent on mass. gravitational potential energy is due to the position of an object above earths surface. the object has the potential to fall due to gravity. gravitational potential energy depends on an objects weight and its height above the ground (gpe = weight x height). elastic potential energy is due to an objects shape. it results when an elastic object is stretched or compressed. the more it is stretched or compressed, the greater its elastic potential energy is. kinetic energy is the energy of moving matter. anything that is moving has kinetic energy—from atoms in matter to stars in outer space. things with kinetic energy can do work. for example, a spinning saw blade is doing the work of cutting through a piece of metal. the amount of kinetic energy in a moving object depends directly on its mass and velocity. an object with greater mass or greater velocity has more kinetic energy. a bowling ball, baseball, golf ball, and ping - pong ball are all rolling down a bowling lane at the same speed. which one has the most kinetic energy? a golf ball b bowling ball c baseball d ping - pong ball

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity. Since the objects are moving at the same speed, the one with the greatest mass will have the most kinetic energy. Among a bowling ball, baseball, golf - ball and ping - pong ball, the bowling ball has the greatest mass.

Answer:

B. bowling ball
