As the ball falls, how will the kinetic energy change? How will the gravitational potential energy change? How will the mechanical energy change?

the Kinetic energy of the ball also increases.

the potential energy of the ball also increases.

mechanical energy of ball remains same.

Explanation:

KINETIC ENERGY:

The kinetic energy of the object depends upon the velocity of the object. As the formula suggests:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

As, the ball is falling down, it accelerates with a value equal to acceleration due to gravity. Thus, the speed increases as the ball falls.

Therefore, the Kinetic energy of the ball also increases.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Th potential energy of an object depends upon its height. As, the formula suggests:

P.E = mgh

As, the ball falls, its height decreases.

Therefore, the potential energy of the ball also increases.

MECHANICAL ENERGY:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. According to law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system always remains constant. It may change the forms but the total energy remains same. Thus, in this case potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Therefore, mechanical energy of ball remains same.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
