The total energy possessed by the object is 60 J

Given:

The kinetic energy of the object, K=25 J

The potential energy of the object, P=35 J

To find:

The total energy possessed by the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by it due to its motion. The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of the object.

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by it due to its position. The gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportioinal to the mass ofthe
