Question

If the car falls down the side of the cliff, what is happening to the gravitational potential energy of the falling car (Assume the bottom of the cliff is zero)

Group of answer choices

the gravitational potential energy is decreasing

the gravitational potential energy has not changed

the gravitational potential energy is increasing

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. ... The gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted. PE = kg x 9.8 m/s2 x m = joules. The 9.8 us the gravitational acceleration constant.

so the answer is "the gravitational potential energy is decreasing"
