When a body is in the state of complete rest, what kind of energy does it possess?(a) Potential energy(b) Kinetic energy(c) Total energy(d) Heat energyThis question was posed to me in an online quiz.My question comes from Introduction to Motion in a Straight Line topic in chapter Motion in a Straight Line of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (a) Potential energy

Explanation: When the BODY is in the state of REST, there is no motion. Hence there is no kinetic energy, hence the total energy of the body is stored as its potential energy. The total energy is the SUM of kinetic and potential energies.
