What best explains the type of energy present in the wheels of a moving bus?
It is chemical energy, which is a type of kinetic energy
It is chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
It is mechanical energy, which is a type of kinetic energy
It is mechanical energy, which is a type of potential energy

Respuesta :

The chemical energy, which is a type of kinetic energy explains the type of energy present in the wheels of a moving bus.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic Energy is present in every moving object. A moving bus, train,flying airplane, walking , running etc are some examples of Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy is classified into  two parts Rotational Kinetic Energy and vibrational Kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy depends on two things , the mass and the velocity of the object.

In the above example , in a moving bus,the wheels of the bus are also moving. So with motion, Kinetic energy gets formed.

Answer: It is mechanical energy, which is a type of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Mechanical energy is the energy in machines. Wheels + moving bus = mechanical energy in kinetic form
