प्रश्न
What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?
State two differences between potential energy and kinetic energy.
उत्तर
| Potential Energy | Kinetic Energy |
| It is the energy of a body by virtue of its change in shape, size or configuration. | It is the energy of a body by virtue of its motion. |
| It is independent on the speed of the body. | It is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the moving body. |

A girl is carrying a school bag of 3 kg mass on her back and moves 200 m on a levelled road. The work done against the gravitational force will be (g = 10 m s–2)
An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a speed of 36 km h–1. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 N. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now the car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.
A body of mass 10 kg falls from a height of 20 m to 8 m. Calculate:
- the loss in potential energy of the body, and
