(b) Give one example each of a body possessing : (i) kinetic energy, and (ii) potential energy.

Answer 1

a)Mass and height of the object
b)
i)A car riding on the road. Since, the body is in motion, it possess kinetic energy.

ii)A flying bird, an aeroplane in motion etc possess both kinetic and potential energy.
Since it is flying at a height, it possess potential energy as well
