  2. potential

  3. electrical

  4. kinetic


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water, like many substances, contains two kinds of energy. The first kind of energy is called kinetic energy. This is energy that is used during the execution of processes, such as movement. Because of kinetic energy water can flow and waves can exist.
But water can also contain potential energy. This is energy that is stored in the water. Stored, but not used. This energy can become useful when water starts to flow. It will be transferred to kinetic energy and this will cause movement.
so it is clear that flowing water have kinetic energy .

so best possible answer is option D.

A body $A$ is placed on a railway platform and an identical body $B$ in a moving train. Which of the following energies of $B$ are greater than those of $A$ as seen from the ground?

  1. Kinetic

  2. Total

  3. Mechanical

  4. Internal


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Since the body B is in a moving train, it will have higher kinetic energy as compared to the body on platfrom. It is because the speed of the body $A$ is zero.

The total energy of the body $B$ will be more than body $A$ due to its state of motion and the mechanical energy of the body $B$ will be higher due to more amount of work done on it as it is moving.

The internal energy of the two identical bodies do not depend on other external factors and it remains constant for the bodies.

So, only the internal energy will not change.
