Question
A ball is projected upwards. As it moves up, there is an increase in its:
- Momentum
- Retardation
- Kinetic energy
- Potential energy
Hint:
Potential energy is the stored energy which is gained by a body or an object by virtue of its position.
The correct answer is: Potential energy
A ball is projected upwards. As it moves up, there is an increase in its: Potential energy.
- Potential energy is the form of energy that an object gains as it is lifted.
- P.E= mgh which means P.E ∝ h
- When the ball is projected upwards the height of the ball starts to increase and speed of the ball starts to decrease due to gravitational force.
