Part 1) Seb lowers a box (initially at rest) from a height h, placing it on the ground. Which (if any) of the following statements about the energy of the box are true? O Since the object starts and finishes at rest, the change in kinetic energy is zero and the work done to move the object is zero. O If air resistance were taken into consideration, the path that the box takes from height h to the ground would affect how much work was done on the object to move it. O The path that the object takes from height h to the ground will determine how much work was done on the object to move it. O Since the object changed height, it has lost gravitational potential energy and work was done by the object.

Part 1)
Seb lowers a box (initially at rest) from a height h, placing it on the ground. Which (if any) of the following statements about the energy of
the box are true?
Since the object starts and finishes at rest, the change in kinetic energy is zero and the work done to move the object is zero.
If air resistance were taken into consideration, the path that the box takes from height h to the ground would affect how much work
was done on the object to move it.
The path that the object takes from height h to the ground will determine how much work was done on the object to move it.
Since the object changed height, it has lost gravitational potential energy and work was done by the object.
