MCQ
A coconut fruit hanging high in a palm tree has ......... owing to its location.
  • A
    Free energy.
  • B
    Kinetic energy.
  • C
    Activation energy.
  • D
    Potential energy.

Answer

  1. Potential energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy possessed by the object is the energy present in it by virtue of its position or configuration. So, the hanging coconut has potential energy due to its location (height).
