Question

.The energy associated with the motion and position of an object is called
A.kinetic energy.
B.potential energy.
C.gravitational potential energy.
D.mechanical energy.

i had picked D.

Answer 1

Please post this in Physics.

Answer 2

A

Answer 3

The answer is A. Kinetic has to do with movement and position

Answer 4

@Auxuris noone is in physics

Answer 5

For future referance, you'll have better help if you post this in the Physics tab of this website.

Answer 6

Please post in Physics as others have said.

p.s. The answer is not A.
@Nick123cross1 and @ECSarabia , you are both incorrect.

Answer 7

@CliffSedge well what do u think it is because i thought it was D.

Answer 8

how so? potential energy is the energy an object has before motion. so that rules out b and c. and mechanical energy. . well i haven't been in my AP Physics class in about a year. forgot mechanical.

Answer 9

Ok, what is your reasoning? Why do you think that is referring to mechanical energy?

Answer 10

but i do know kinetic has to do with motion and whatnot.

Answer 11

@ECSarabia , kinetic energy is independent of position.

Answer 12

Here's a hint: ME = KE + PE.

Answer 13

i'd have to look at my notes from physics, it pertains to mass and velocity correct? So then yeah, it would be mechanical by elminiation.

Answer 14

Right. Kinetic is motion, Potential is position, and both together are Mechanical.

Answer 15

c!!

Answer 16

is it C

Answer 17

@CliffSedge is C right??

Answer 18

You didn't answer my question asking what your reason was for picking D.
Now what is your reason for thinking C is correct? (in light of the fact that I've already answered the question for you).

Answer 19

idk__

Answer 20

please tell me if D is right? @CliffSedge

Answer 21

If you're not going to answer my questions, then I'm not going to answer yours. I'm not interested in a one-sided conversation.

Good luck.

Answer 22

@CliffSedge i did answer yours

Answer 23

Oh? Here were the questions:

(1) "..what is your reasoning? Why do you think that is referring to mechanical energy?"

(2) "..what is your reason for thinking C is correct?"

Where are your answers to those questions, because I don't see them?
