Which energy is stored in an object when it is raised above the earth's surface?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a kinetic energy
- b potential energy
- c heat energy
- d chemical energy
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b potential energy
When an object is raised, the work done in lifting it is stored in it as potential energy mgh.
Why the other options are wrong
- a kinetic energy: This is not the answer: When an object is raised, the work done in lifting it is stored in it as potential energy mgh.
- c heat energy: This is not the answer: When an object is raised, the work done in lifting it is stored in it as potential energy mgh.
- d chemical energy: This is not the answer: When an object is raised, the work done in lifting it is stored in it as potential energy mgh.
