Answer 1

As the box slides down the ramp, its potential energy decreases
and, if there's not too much friction, its kinetic energy increases.

Answer 2

To solve the problem we must know about potential energy and kinetic energy.

What is Kinetic Energy?

It is the type of energy an object has due to its motion. it is directly proportional to the product of mass and the square of the velocity of the object. It is given by the formula,

$K.E. = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

What is Potential Energy?

Potential energy is defined as the energy stored on the object which is relative to its position.

For example, the potential energy of a steel ball at a particular height is more than the steel ball at the ground.

Its potential energy decreases, and kinetic energy increases.

Given

• A box slides down a ramp.

Explanation

As the box is sliding down the box's kinetic increase will increase due to the increase in its motion while the potential energy of the box will decrease.

Hence, Its potential energy decreases, and kinetic energy increases.
