Carlos plays baseball and wanted to find out the potential energy as a ball gets thrown by the pitcher over time. The table below represents his findings from one pitch and a motion sensor and monitor.
Which of the following conclusions could Carlos determine from his data and graph?
A. As the ball goes to higher heights, the potential energy increases and when it comes back down, the potential energy decreases.
B. As the ball goes to higher heights, the potential energy decreases and when it comes back down, the potential energy does not change.
C. As the ball goes to higher heights, the potential energy decreases and when it comes back down, the potential energy increases.
D. As the ball goes to higher heights, the potential energy increases and when it comes back down, the potential energy does not change.

Option A is the right answer.
Hence, when the ball goes to higher heights, the potential energy increases and when it comes down it gradually decreases.
Potential energy is directly proportional to height of the object.
Therefore, with the gaining height, the potential energy of the ball increases.
However, it is the gravitational pull that attracts the ball towards the ground.
