You throw a baseball horizontally, and jill catches it. neglect air resistance. the energy transformation that occurs during the catch is

a) kinetic e ⇒ chemical e.
b) kinetic e ⇒ thermal e.
c) chemical e ⇒ kinetic e.
d) thermal e ⇒ kinetic e.
e) chemical e ⇒ gravitational e.

B kinetic energy to thermal energy

Explanation:

During the catch as the ball is being released the ball gains kinetic energy during the motion. As the ball moves towards Jill a form of heat is generated when Jill catches the ball. From the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary 

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
