Question

Energy that is associated with the position or composition of an object is called a kinetic energy. b potential energy. c thermal energy. d chemical energy.

Answer 1

The required "option is b) potential energy".

Explanation:

• The energy which is associated with the motion of the object is called kinetic energy.
• The energy which is associated with the amount of heat released is known as thermal energy.
• The energy which is released during a chemical reaction is known as chemical energy.

          Therefore, option (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

• The energy which is possessed by a stationary object or associated with the position of an object is called as potential energy.
• Hence, the correct option is potential energy.
