A potential
B kinetic
C thermal
D mechanical
E all of the above
F none of the above
(There are 2 answers)

Answer 1

A potential

B kinetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

`K.E = (1)/(2)MV^(2)`

Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

`P.E = mgh`

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Both potential and kinetic energy is affected by an object's mass.
