Answer : Option B) Shape and Position.

Explanation : Potential energy is defined as the stored energy in an object due of its position or its configuration; whereas the kinetic energy is defined as energy which a body can possesses because of its motion.

With the definitions, it is clear that potential energy has a distinguishing property of shape and position from kinetic energy.

What is static electricity
navik [9.2K]

Static electricity is electricity produced locally that does not flow. It is produced by electrons being rubbed off one object and collecting on another. It cannot flow through a wire like the electricity in your home.  

Example:  

1) Rub a balloon on your hair and it will stick to the wall. The balloon rubs electrons off your hair and picks up a negative charge. Your hair, in turn, is left with a positive charge. You may even notice your hair has "static" and is standing out from your head.  

2) Comb your hair with a plastic comb then use it to pick up small pieces of paper. The comb picks up electrons from your hair and becomes negatively charged. It uses this charge to attract the pieces of paper.  

3) Rub your slippered feet on the carpet and then touch something metal like a door knob. The "shock" you feel is static electricity. You pick up electrons from the carpet and discharge them on to the door knob.

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
never [62]
Pluto was discovered by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in February 1930. It was given the status of the ninth planet of the solar system.
As telescopes, particularly in on satellites, improved, more objects were discovered which caused a problem that they were quite small and some astronomers didn't think they qualified as being planets.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) had a vote which was very close. They defined three criteria which a planet must satisfy.
It must be large enough for gravity to overcome structures of materials and make it spherical. Most bodies are flattened spheroids due to rotation.
It must orbit the Sun.
It must have cleared its orbit of other bodies other than moons.
The IAU created a new definition of an object called a dwarf planet which only satisfies the first two criteria. Pluto fails the third criterion, so it was demoted to a dwarf planet.
Many people, including myself, still consider Pluto to be the ninth planet.
To be pedantic, Jupiter has a lot of asteroids in its orbit at its two Lagrange points. They are called trojan asteroids. So, this means that Jupiter fails the IAU's third criterion and should be a dwarf planet, which it is certainly not!
