Types Of Energy

1. What is Kinetic Energy?

Energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

Energy stored in an object due to its position or state

Energy associated with heat transfer

Energy generated by chemical reactions

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object while it is in motion. It is distinct from potential energy, which is associated with an object's position or state.

Explanation

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object while it is in motion. It is distinct from potential energy, which is associated with an object's position or state.

2. What is Mechanical Energy?

Mechanical Energy is the energy produced by the sun.

Mechanical Energy is the sum of potential energy and Kinetic energy.

Mechanical Energy is the energy stored in food.

Mechanical Energy is the energy of sound waves.

Mechanical Energy is a combination of two types of energy - potential energy (energy of position) and kinetic energy (energy of motion). Therefore, it is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.

Explanation

Mechanical Energy is a combination of two types of energy - potential energy (energy of position) and kinetic energy (energy of motion). Therefore, it is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.

3. What is potential energy?

The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.

The energy created by motion and velocity.

The energy generated by chemical reactions.

The energy stored in a body at rest.

Potential energy is the stored energy that an object has due to its position or condition.

Explanation

Potential energy is the stored energy that an object has due to its position or condition.

4. What is the correct way to abbreviate the word 'millimeter'?

The correct abbreviation for 'millimeter' is 'mm', where 'm' represents 'milli' and 'm' represents 'meter'. The incorrect answers are: 'ml' is not the correct abbreviation for 'millimeter'; 'cm' stands for 'centimeter' and 'km' stands for 'kilometer', they are different units of measurement.
