Question

Group of answer choices

two positive charges held near each other

all of these answers are correct

an object held above the earth

The correct answer is a plate hitting the floor.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion, and a plate hitting the floor is in motion. The other options describe potential energy or configurations of systems rather than objects in motion.
