Question

Which of the following has both kinetic energy and potential energy ?

• A. A flying bird
• B. A bent bow about to shoot an arrow
• C. An athlete running at full speed
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A A flying bird

Since the bird is flying is must be at some distance from the ground and Potential energy is present when there is some height associated with that object (Since P.E = mgh). Also the bird has mass and thus gravity will be acted on it. Kinetic energy is present for an object if it has velocity.This a flying bird has both kinetic energy and potential energy.
