UGCPQ Q.50
- Option : A
- Explanation : Potential energy is mechanical or stored energy from an object that comes from factors such as its position relative to others, internal stress, electric charge or its condition rather than motion. This object has the capability of producing energy as these conditions change- this energy could be kinetic energy, chemical energy, radiant energy, thermal energy or sound energy. Some examples of the Potential Kinetic Energy are a coiled spring, Wheels on roller skates before someone skates, River water at the top of a waterfall, An airplane idling on the runway, a satellite before it is launched and placed into an orbit, Bullets before they are fired from a gun and Your radiant heating system in the summer.
