If a stone will be placed on three locations: the rooftop of an 18-story condominium, the roof of your house, and a 10-foot cabinet. In which location will the stone gain the highest potential energy and obtain the least potential energy. Prove your answer.
Correct option is B potential energy Energy gained by a body by virtue of its position is called the potential energy. So, energy gained by a piece of stone placed in the roof possesses potential energy.
If the stone is placed on the highest place, then it gains highest potential energy but if the rock falls, it (stone) loses its potential energy but gains kinetic energy.
