Question

A rock is pushed out of a six-stoty window that is 60 feet above the ground. What energy changes occur as the rock falls to the

ground?
A)
The potential energy of the rock is destroyed as it falls.
B)
The potential energy of the rock is transformed into kinetic energy.
C)
The kinetic energy of the rock is transformed into potential energy.
d) The rock on the ground possesses more potential energy than it did when
it was 60 feet higher.

Answer 1

B, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic. It is not A, because energy can neither be destroyed or created. And I remember the difference between the energy types as the meaning of potential (not in use; not yet at full) and saying that it is not moving.

Sorry if its confusing.
