Question

A raised hammer possesses

• A. K.E. only
• B. gravitational P.E.
• C. electrical energy
• D. sound energy

Answer 1

The correct option is B

gravitational P.E.

1. Gravitational energy is the potential energy (P.E.) possessed by a body due to its height above ground level.
2. A raised hammer is at a certain height from ground level and therefore it possesses gravitational potential energy.

Thus, a raised hammer possesses gravitational potential energy (P.E.).

Hence, option (B) is correct.
