Question

A hockey puck sliding on the ice has _____.

A. kinetic energy only
B. potential energy only
C. no kinetic or potential energy
D. some kinetic and potential energy

Answer 1

the answer is A because kinetic means going fast

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion. Whereas a potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its position.

For example, when hockey puck is sliding then it means it is moving frome one place to another. Therefore, it is is motion hence, it will have kinetic energy only.

Thus, we can conclude that a hockey puck sliding on the ice has kinetic energy only.
