Name the type of energy (kinetic or potential) possessed by the follow

1.	Name the type of energy (kinetic or potential) possessed by the following:(a) A moving cricket ball.(b) A stone at rest on the top of a building.(c) A compressed spring.(d) A moving bus.(e) A bullet fired from a gun.(f) Water flowing in a river.(g) A stretched rubber band.
Answer» (a) AMOVING BALL due to motion possesses KINETIC ENERGY. (b) A stone at rest on the top of a building possesses POTENTIAL ENERGY, ∴ Due to height above ground. (c) A compressed spring possesses potential energy due to changed position of spring. (d) A moving bus possesses kinetic energy due to motion. (e) A bullet fired from a gun possesses kinetic energy due to motion. (f) WATER FLOWING IN A RIVER possesses kinetic energy due to its motion. (g) A STRETCHED RUBBER BAND possesses potential energy due to changed position.
