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.

the atomic number of cesium (Cs) is 55. If an atom of cesium has 78 neutrons, what is the atomic mass of cesium?
Slav-nsk [51]
Atomic mass= number of protons + number of neutrons
55 + 78 = 133

Explain what characterises a sound as noise or music​
natta225 [31]

Explanation:

Noise is sound with a continuous structure. Music is composed of sounds with a fundamental frequency and overtones. Noise is composed of sounds with frequencies that range continuously in value from as low as you can hear to as high as you can hear — not necessarily at equal intensity, however.
