MCQ
Which of the following does not have potential energy ?
  • A
    An inflated balloon.
  • Water in a flowing river.
  • C
    A fruit on the tree.
  • D
    A spinning top.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Water in a flowing river.
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position above the ground surface and when the object is in motion then it has kinetic energy. Water in a flowing river has kinetic energy.

Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by $\mathrm{Y}=49000 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\ell} \frac{\text { dyne }}{\mathrm{cm}^2}$ where $\mathrm{M}$ is the mass and $\ell$ is the extension of wre used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules $(\mathrm{Y})$ is estimated by taking data from $M-\ell$ plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are $5 \mathrm{~g}$ and $0.02$ $\mathrm{cm}$ along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of $M$ and $\ell$ are $500 \mathrm{~g}$ and $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively then percentage error of $\mathrm{Y}$ is :
