Answer:
(assuming gravity = 10m/s2)
answer for part 1 :
the pot will possess potential energy and not kinetic energy.
the energy which the pot possess is = PE of the pot
PE = mgh = 1.2x 10 x 30 = 360 J
answer for part 2 :
PE = mgh = 1.2 × 10 × 6 = 72 J
Explanation:
the PE of a body is not due to its state of motion, its due to the state of rest of the body. when the body starts moving it possess kinetic energy.
