A rock is thrown straight up from the surface of the Earth. Which one of the following statements describes the energy
transformation of the rock as it rises? Neglect air resistance.
a) The total energy of the rock increases.
b) The kinetic energy increases and the potential energy decreases.
c) Both the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the rock remain the same.
d) The kinetic energy decreases and the potential energy increases.
e) Both the potential energy and the total energy of the rock increase.

Answer: d

Explanation:

Uuhhh I’m not good at explanations...

The kinetic energy decreases while the potential energy increases.

Option d is the answer because as soon as this ball gets thrown from the surface of the earth kinetic energy would be at its greatest.

we have

[tex]k=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}[/tex]

The velocity is going to be minimized. As the ball is going up its velocity would be falling or decreasing due to gravity. [tex]k=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}[/tex] would then have a smaller value. So kinetic energy is reducing/decreasing.

We have potential energy as u = m*g*h = 0. This is because the height is 0 as the ball is released. But as the ball goes up, the height would start to increase so the potential energy increases.

In conclusion as the ball is thrown straight from the earth, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.

Roxanne is an expert at blowing bubbles with bubble gum. She discovered that her bubbles were bigger if she stood facing the Sun when she blew them. At lunch she told her three best friends about her discovery and after school they all tried it. No one else was able to blow bigger bubbles when they faced toward the Sun. Which of the following would be best for Roxanne to do next? A. She should prove she is right by blowing bubbles while her friends are watching.
B. She should give them each bigger pieces of bubble gum and try it one more time.
C. She should think about what else she is doing that might have made the bubbles bigger.
D. She should ask her friends to try it again and concentrate harder when they face the Sun.
