Question

Which property of potential energy distinguishes it from kinetic energy?

a. mass
b. position
c. force
d. work and power

Answer 1

B: Position

Position includes height, or how close to the ground it is. If you drop the ball from 50 ft the kinetic energy is less than it would be from 100 ft. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

b. position.

Potential energy is associated with position.
