Question

Krishna observes that there is a heavy scenery hanging at the top of a wall of his house . He had recently studied in his class that the object at a height has more energy. So , it may cause greater damage if it falls and he advised his father to place the scenery closer to the ground to avoid any accident. Which energy increases with increasing height of the object? Why ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Potential energy increases with an increase in height

Explanation:

Potential energy us the energy obtained by a body at rest. It depends on the height and mass of the body. Hence, if the scenery in the question is placed closer to the ground the potential energy will decrease and will cause less damage. But if it is placed at a height the potential energy will transform into kinetic energy if it falls and will cause a bigger damage.
