Question

At a certain point, the kinetic energy of a falling basketball is 30.8 J and its potential energy is 16.0 J. What is its mechanical energy?

Answer 1

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is associated with an object's mass and its position. It is equal to the work one must do to lift an object some distance against a gravitational force. If an object falls, it gives up its gravitational potential energy. ... Its GPE is converted into kinetic energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

mechanical energy =46.8
