Question
A cricket ball is thrown up from the earth's surface. What happens to its P.E.
(a) during the motion
(b) at the highest point?
Solution
(a) As the height above the ground increases, the potential energy also increases.
(b) At the highest point, the height of the cricket ball is maximum and hence the potential energy is also maximum.
