State whether the potential energy of the underlined object increases or decreases as a result of the change described. a hot air balloon lands in a field

A) increase

2) decreases

3) increase

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

2.State whether the potential energy of the underlined object increases or decreases as a result of the change

1)A personclimbs a flight of stairs.

2)A diverdives into a pool

3)A hot air balloonlands in a field.

Kinetic energy can be regarded as a form of energy which an object posses as a result of motion. It can be regarded as energy that is associated associated with motion.

Kinectic Energy can be calculated using below formula.

K.E= 1/2mv^2

Where m= mass of the object

v= velocity of the object

It should be noted that Kinetic energy of a body depends on the velocity of the body squared. Whenever velocity of a body is doubled, then the kinetic energy of the body will quadruples.

1)A person climbs a flight of stairs.

As the person is climbing up, then he's doing that as a result of increase in his velocity and as the velocity increase, the Kinectic energy increases as he climb up the stair.

2)A diver dives into a pool.

As the driver drives into the pool , his Kinectic energy decrease, because his velocity will reduce as he enter the pool

3)A hot air balloonlands in a field.

The Kinectic energy will increase, because as a result of increase in velocity of the balloon
