A ball will be rolled four times. In which of the following situations will some of the kinetic energy of the ball be converted into potential energy as the ball rolls?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking in which scenarios the kinetic energy of a rolling ball will be converted into potential energy. It presents four diagrams to analyze the conditions of energy transformation as the ball rolls.
Answer
C, where the ball rolls up an inclined plane.
The final answer is C, where the ball rolls up an inclined plane.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is C, where the ball rolls up an inclined plane.
More Information
In scenario C, as the ball rolls up the incline, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy due to the increase in height.
Tips
A common mistake is overlooking the role of elevation in converting kinetic energy to potential energy.
