Question

B. The following figure shows a watch glass embedded in clay. Tiny spherical ball is placed at the edge 8
at a height h above the centre A. The energy possessed by ball at point is:
h
A
a Potential energy
b. Kinetic energy
c. Both potential and kinetic energy
d. Heat energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

b.kinetic energy

Explanation:

This is because when ball is placed from at point C then it slide down at a point B. Then it show no movement so it release only kinetic energy.

Answer 2

The energy possessed by the ball at point C is potential energy. (Option A)

• The energy retained by the ball at point C is potential energy due to its height h above the earth.
• The energy contained in any object or system as a function of its location or arrangement of parts is called potential energy.
• The energy of particles moving in an object or system, on the other hand, is known as kinetic energy.
• The ball stores energy at point C due to its height h from the group. The energy at point C is gravitational potential energy, to be precise.
• The stored energy at point C is theoretically equal to mgh, where m represents the mass, g represents the acceleration of gravity, and h seems to be the ball's height.
