Question

1. which of the following situations has the most potential energy? a ball at the bottom of a hill a cup falling over and spilling a ball at the top of the hill a person running

Explanation:

Potential energy is related to an object's position. Gravitational potential energy is given by $U = mgh$ (where $m$ is mass, $g$ is gravitational - acceleration, and $h$ is height). A ball at the top of a hill has a greater height $h$ compared to the other situations, so it has more potential energy. A ball at the bottom of a hill has low potential energy due to low height. A cup falling is in the process of converting potential to kinetic energy. A person running has kinetic energy mainly.

Answer:

C. A ball at the top of the hill
