MCQ
A coconut fruit hanging high in a palm tree has $.........$ owing to its location.
- AFree energy.
- BKinetic energy.
- CActivation energy.
- ✓Potential energy.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Potential energy.
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$).$
