science lol

OpenStudy (precision):

lol

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

first the word acceleration describes that velocity is increasing

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

since Kinetic energy is directly proportional to velocity^2 so we can say that......

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

however it is still on the hill which means the displacement from the ground > 0 and this indicates it have potential energy

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

so the option is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

or just guess until the answer is confirmed?

candycove (candycove):

Basically.

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

in d the kinetic energy is 0 but the velocity isn't 0 and moreover increasing and which means there is kinetic energy which is constantly increasing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk ... this one is confuseing me

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Kinetic energy --- constantly increasing potential energy --- change not required but isn't 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait its a isn't it

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

correct
