4. If a ball is tossed straight up into the air, at what position is its potential energy the greatest? A. when it reaches the top of its flight B. when it first leaves your hand C. when it approaches the top of its flight D. when it begins to fall back to your hand. Help? @One098

Which do you think is the answer? If you don't then just guess and I'll see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A? o.o

OpenStudy (one098):

Why do you think its A? You sure its not another choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because when something goes to the top, when it goes down, It has a strong force

OpenStudy (one098):

"at what position is its potential energy the greatest?" Gravity pulls things down, so once it's tossed up, by the law of gravity, its pulled down, making its greatest point, when it first leaves your hand.
