Question

A ball is sitting at the top of a ramp. As the ball rolls down the ramp, the potential energy of the ball decreases, what happens to the potential energy as the ball moves

Answer 1

the potential energy decreases as it is converted to kinetic energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

As things move, their potential energy converts to kinetic energy to power them along. When a ball rolls down the top of a ramp, all the potential energy it accumulated at the top of the ramp converts to kinetic energy to help it roll down. In other words, its potential energy decreases as its kinetic energy increases.
