Question

Pick the odd one out. Give scientific reason for your answer.

• A. Potential energy
• B. mass of object
• C. height attained
• D. speed of body
• E. acceleration due to gravity

Answer 1

The correct option is D

speed of body

Expression for potential energy:

1. The potential energy possessed by a body is given by the following formula:
2. $Potentialenergy\left(PE\right)=mgh$

Where, m = Mass of the body

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height to which the body is raised above the ground.

1. Here, out of all given options speed is the odd one out because speed is related to kinetic energy whereas potential energy, acceleration due to gravity, and height is related to potential energy.

Hence, option D (speed of body) is correct.
