First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand potential energy.The potential  energy of a body is defined as the energy possessed by a body due  to its position and configuration.

There are  generally two types of potential energy.One is gravitational potential energy and the other one is elastic potential energy.The former one is due to the position of the body at a certain height from the surface of earth.The latter one is due to the change in  configuration of the body.

There is also electric potential energy which is stored  inside the electric filed of charge particles at rest.

The first example is holding a basket ball in air.As the body is at certain height from earth surface ,hence it has gravitational potential energy which is a best example of potential energy.

The second one is a rolling ball across a flat table.It has both rotational kinetic energy due to its rolling motion as well as potential energy due to its position.

The third one  can't be considered as it is electric in nature.

The fourth one is turning on a flashlight in a dark room.The light is due to the heating effect of electric current. so it is not gravitational in nature.

Hence option  one is the correct answer.

That will depend on the units of the 3.0. We need to know if it's 3 feet, 3 yards, 3 meters, or 3 miles. Each one will have a different answer.

patriot [66]
Milk, apples, and beans don't have much carbohydrate.  So if you
cut down on those, you don't really cut down much on carbohydrates.

If Rachel needs to reduce her intake of carbohydrates, she should
cut down on bread.  (Also cake, sugar, corn, pasta, and potatoes.)
