Question

question 12 of 27
an object raised above the ground is an example of which type of potential energy?
a. mechanical
b. magnetic
c. elastic
d. gravitational

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground in a gravitational field. When an object is raised above the ground, it has the potential to do work as it falls back down under the influence of gravity. Mechanical energy is a combination of kinetic and potential energy. Magnetic potential energy relates to magnetic fields. Elastic potential energy is in a stretched or compressed elastic object.

Answer:

D. Gravitational
