Question

Types of mechanical energy are

• A. kinetic energy only
• B. potential energy only
• C. both kinetic energy and potential energy
• D. neither kinetic energy nor potential energy

Answer 1

The correct option is C

both kinetic energy and potential energy

Explanation

1. Mechanical energy: It is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
2. Potential Energy: The energy stored in an object by the virtue of its position.
3. Kinetic Energy:-The energy obtained by an object by the virtue of its motion.

Thus, types of mechanical energy are both kinetic energy and potential energy. Hence, option C is correct.
