Eric throws a basketball straight up into the air. as it rises, which form of energy is increasing? a. elastic potential energy b. electrical energy c. gravitational potential energy d. kinetic energy

C) Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

As ball is thrown upwards then we can say that speed of the ball will decrease as it will move upwards.

This is due to gravity which act opposite to the motion of the ball

So as the ball is thrown upwards the initial kinetic energy of the ball will start decreasing as it will move upwards

Here we also know that gravitational potential energy of the ball is given as

so as the ball start rising upwards the potential energy of the ball will increase

so here correct answer will be

C) Gravitational potential energy

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

answer: good job it's all correct !
