An archer stands on the ground and fires an arrow at a target. A second archer stands at the top of a building and holds an arrow in his hand. Which arrow has more potential energy? Explain. In the same scenario described which arrow has more kinetic energy? Explain.

Which statement best compares potential and kinetic energy?

a) Only kinetic energy increases when the velocity of an object increases

b) Objects always have more potential energy than kinetic energy

c) Only potential energy decreases when an object's height increases

d) Objetcs always have more kinetic energy than potential energy.

A simple Harmonic oscillator of amplitude A has total energy E. Determine (a) the kinetic energy and (b) the potential energy when the position is one-third the amplitude. (c) For what values of the position does the kinetic energy equal one-half the potential energy? (d) Are there any values of the position where the kinetic energy is greater than the maximum potential energy? Explain.
