A cylindrical cell is rolling down an inclined plane. Name the energy possessed by the cell as it rolls down.

Open in App

Solution

When the cell rolls down, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
When the cell rolls down, it possesses kinetic energy because of the velocity gained.
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
Hence, when the cell rolls down, it possesses kinetic energy.
