Question

A flying bird in the sky has

• A. K.E. only
• B. P.E. only
• C. neither K.E. nor P.E.
• D. both K.E. and P.E.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

both K.E. and P.E.

1. A bird flying in the sky possesses potential energy (P.E.) due to its height above ground level.
2. It also possesses kinetic energy (K.E.) due to its flying motion.

Thus, a flying bird has both potential and kinetic energy.

Hence, option (D) is correct.
