प्रश्न
What type of energy is possessed : by the piece of stone which is thrown away on releasing the stretched rubber strings of catapult?
उत्तर
The stone possesses kinetic energy because on releasing the rubber string of the catapult, potential energy of the rubber string is transformed into the kinetic energy of the stone thrown.
