a. All of the students.

Three students determine the gravitational potential energy of an object at a given location. Student A says the gravitational potential energy (PE) is positive in value, student B says it is zero in value, and student C says it is negative in value. Which of these students can be correct? a. All of the students. b. Either student A or B, but not student C. c. Only student C. d. Only student B. e. Only student A.

d. The linear momentum of both players was equal in magnitude.

Two football players run toward each other and collide. The large player was running slowly, while the small player was running quickly just before the collision.
