Question:

Which of the statements is NOT correct regarding energy ?

Options:

The energy possessed by a body due to its change in position or shape is called the potential energy.

An object of mass m moving with velocity v has a kinetic energy of (mv) /2

The gravitational potential energy of an object of mass, M raised through a height, H from the earth’s surface is given by MgH.

An object in motion possesses what is known as the kinetic energy of the object.

Correct Answer:

An object of mass m moving with velocity v has a kinetic energy of (mv) /2

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. An object of mass m moving with velocity v has a kinetic energy of (mv) /2.

The statement that is NOT correct regarding energy is an object of mass m moving with velocity v has a kinetic energy of (mv) /2

The correct formula for kinetic energy (\(KE\)) is given by:

\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]

The correct statement should reflect this formula, which represents the kinetic energy of an object in motion. Therefore, the statement provided is incorrect because it does not correctly represent the formula for kinetic energy.
