Question

A list of scenarios is shown below.

I. Water is running
II. A car is parked on a hill
III. One liter of gasoline sits on a bench
Which of the scenarios has kinetic energy?

A
1, only
В.
II, only
с
II and III, only
D
I and III, only
Please help

Answer 1

Scenario I has kinetic energy and scenario III has potential energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, scenario I describes water running, which is an example of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. Scenario II describes a car parked on a hill, which does not possess any kinetic energy as it is not in motion. Scenario III describes one liter of gasoline sitting on a bench, which possesses potential energy. Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or condition.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: I and III, only. Scenario I has kinetic energy, and scenario III has potential energy.

Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A: because for something to have kinetic energy it has to be in motion, the other 2 scenarios are not moving.
