Question

A 3 kg ball rolls at 2m/s does this system favor kinetic energy or potential energy?

Answer 1

Kinetic energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Total energy of any system is always conserved.

`E = K +U`

E= Total energy

K = kinetic energy

U = Potential energy

Kinetic energy is the energy acquired by the system due to the virtue of it's motion.

Potential energy is the energy acquired by the system due to the virtue of it's configuration.

Also, Kinetic energy
`K = (1)/(2) m v^(2)`

`K = (1)/(2) * 3 * 2^(2)`

`K = 6 J`
