Question

The two kinds of mechanical energy are

• A. Muscular and heat
• B. Potential and kinetic
• C. Potential and chemical
• D. Kinetic and muscular

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Potential and kinetic

Explanation:

B: Potential and kinetic energy

Mechanical energy

1. Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its position or due to its motion.
2. The energy due to motion is called kinetic energy.
3. The energy due to the position is called potential energy.
4. So the two kinds of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and potential energy.

So, option B is the correct answer.
