A ball initially with 20 J of potential energy has rolled halfway down a slope and is still moving. Which of the following values of kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (PE) is it likely to have?


  1. 36.0 J of KE and 0 J of PE.
  2. 37.0 J of KE and 10 J of PE.
  3. 38.10 J of KE and 10 J of PE.
  4. 39.10 J of KE and 0 J of PE.
