A soccer ball is dropped from a height of 2 m and falls to the floor. What is the relationship of the potential and kinetic energies of the ball as the ball falls to the floor?
O A. The kinetic energy of the ball will increase as its potential energy is stored during the fall to the floor.
O B. The potential energy of the ball will transform into kinetic and thermal energy while it falls to the floor.
c.
The kinetic energy of the ball will increase, and its potential energy will be constant until it hits the floor.
O D. The potential energy of the ball will completely transform into kinetic energy just before it hits the floor.
