Question

Which has more potential energy a bowling ball n the floor or a grape on the floor. explain

Answer 1

Answer: bowling ball

Step-by-step explanation:

Any body at rest has potential energy waiting to be utilized into kinetic energy. But a bowling ball has more mass than a grape and therefore would have more potential energy.

P.E = mgh

So if M (bowling ball) is greater than m (grape) then, the bowling ball would have more potential energy despite the two bodies at rest due to its greater or larger mass compared to the grape.

Answer 2

Answer: the bowling ball

Explanation:

An object with high mass have high potential energy than an object with low mass, potential energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object
