Question

state the type of mechanical energy possessed by the following :
a)a bullet fired from a gun
b) the would up spring of toy car
c) a moving bus
d)the water, stored at a height, in a tank

Answer 1

The type of mechanical energy possessed by bullet fired from gun is kinetic energy which is an energy possessed by an object in motion.

Thus, the same energy is possessed by a moving bus.

The type of mechanical energy possessed by the wound up spring of toy car and the water, stored at a height, in a tank is potential energy s it is the stored energy due to the object’s position.

Answer 2

A) Kinetic energy

B) Potential energy

C) Kinetic energy

D) Potential energy
