Question

Identify the energy possessed by a rolling stone.

Answer 1

1. A Rolling stone is in motion.
2. So the energy possessed by it is kinetic energy.
3. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.
4. Mathematically it is written as $\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{mv}}^2\mathrm{where}\mathrm{KE}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{kinetic}\mathrm{energy},\mathrm{m}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{mass},\mathrm{v}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{velocity}$

Hence, energy possessed by a rolling stone is kinetic energy.
