A kite stuck in a tree has what kind of energy?
|
|
Kinetic
|
|
|
Potential
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is using the kinetic energy in the wind (which has itself been generated by the heat energy warming the earth and causing air to rise and expand) to increase and then maintain the potential energy of a heavier than air object (the kite).
Detailed explanation-2: -P.E. is directly proportional to the height from the ground. Hence a student sitting at the top of a tree has more potential energy than the student who is sitting on the ground.
