1 answer

The statement "Both fruits have only potential energy and no kinetic energy" is incorrect. Both watermelon A and watermelon B have potential energy due to their position above the ground. However, they also have kinetic energy because they are in motion (falling). The correct answer is: Both fruits have the same kinetic and potential energy.
