Energy Units | MCQs

Explanation

• Potential energy is a measure of the energy an object has due to its position or state, and it determines how much work the object can perform.
• The amount of potential energy an object has is a function of its mass, height, and other factors.
• It can be converted into kinetic energy (the energy of motion) when the object is released or moved.
• For example, a ball at the top of a hill has a certain amount of potential energy due to its height, and as it rolls down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, allowing the ball to perform work (such as moving down the hill).
