A ball is thrown straight up into the air. Which of the following best describes the energy present at various stages? There is more energy at the top of the ball's path than there is at the bottom.
The total amount of energy varies, with more energy at the bottom and less at the top of the path.
At the very top, most of the energy is potential and just before it hits the ground, most of the energy is kinetic.
