Gravitational Potential Energy is energy that is stored due to an object's position above the earth.
At the greatest distance from the ground, the ball will have the most potential energy. Increasing the mass of the ball increases its gravitational potential energy.
4. Label on the diagram the location where the ball has the greatest potential energy.
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion.
The ball will be moving the fastest at the bottom of its drop, so it will have the most kinetic energy there.
5. Label on the diagram the location where the ball has the greatest kinetic energy.
The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
