One basketball at rolling on the floor what kind of energy?

1 answer

The basketball rolling on the floor possesses both kinetic and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object, in this case, the basketball rolling. As the basketball moves, it gains kinetic energy.

Potential energy, on the other hand, refers to the stored energy that an object possesses based on its position or condition. In the case of a rolling basketball, it may have some potential energy if it is located on an elevated surface. This potential energy can later convert into kinetic energy as the basketball rolls down the slope.
