Question

A picture hanging on a wall has energy.

Answer 1

It has potential energy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy present within an object due to its position.

Mathematically,        P.E = mgh

where,           m = mass of object

                      g = acceleration due to gravity

                      h = height of the object

Therefore, when a picture hanging on a wall then it is placed at a definite position from where it is not moving. Hence, the energy possessed by it will be potential energy.

Therefore, we can conclude that a picture hanging on a wall has  potential energy.
