प्रश्न
Can a body possess energy even when it is not in motion ? Explain your answer with an example.
उत्तर
Yes, a body possesses energy even when it is not in motion ;
Consider a body raised to a certain height say h. It its velocity is zero. Kinetic energy will be zero but the body will have.
P.E. = mgh
Thus, a body may possess energy even though it is not in motion.
