If an object has a larger potential energy than kinetic energy,
A) the speed of the object will increase.
B) the speed of the object will not change.
C) the speed of the object will decrease.
D) It is not possible to predict what the speed will be; it depends on the situation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
