First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.
Answer:
The answer is A because the equation is KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf
i means initial (before) and f means final (after)
You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve it.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (1.5)^2 + (2)^2
c^2 = 6.25
c = square root of 6.25
c = 2.5
I hope this helps!
