While on a movie set, a stuntman jumps off the roof of a building. As he falls towards an airbag, what is increasing?
a) gravity
b) wind velocity
c) kinetic energy
d) potential energy

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?
a) Potential energy is the energy of an object due to its position, while kinetic energy is due to its motion
b) Potential energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, while kinetic energy is energy due to its position
