  • Where potential energy is greatest
  • Where kinetic energy is greatest
Question 3
3.

Which statements about energy are true? Select two correct answers.

When an object's motion increases, the potential energy decreases.
As the speed of an object decreases, its kinetic energy increases.
When potential energy converts to kinetic energy, the total energy increases.
As an object changes motion, the object's total energy will always be the same.
