Question

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?

A. a basketball sitting on a shelf
B. a dog running across a field
C. a bowling ball rolling down a lane
D. a teenager riding their bike???

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

potential energy is stored energy so the ball has potential energy to bounce or roll which would then have been converted to kinetic but the rest are in motion meaning energy is no longer stored but used in motion and therefore cannot be potential energy
