Q45 of 146 Page 145

Give one example each of the body possessing: (i) kinetic energy, and (ii) potential energy.

A stationary stone lying at the top of a hill has only potential energy.

(Since, the stone only possess height and not the velocity)


When the stone reaches the bottom of the hill, it has only kinetic energy.


(Since, on reaching the bottom height would be reduced to zero But the stone would have gained Velocity)
