If we release both cans at the same time, on a downhill ramp. The total energy at the bottom of the ramp is the same for milk can and the refried beans would have the most energy.
Hence, option C is the correct answer
Potential Energy is a form of energy which is stored in the body due to position.
It is represented as
U = mgy
where,
U = Potential Energy
m = Mass of object
y = Elevation of object
g = Acceleration due to gravity
Kinetic Energy is defined as the object which has because of its motion.
It is represented as
K = 1/2 mv²
where,
K = Kinetic Energy
m = mass
V = Velocity
From the diagram we can say that both the cans are at the same height at
y=H.
The kinetic energy of the can at the bottom line is represented as
K = U
= mgH
Total potential energy can be calculated as when the milk can reach the bottom line:
U = mgy
Put the value 0 for y.
U = mg × 0
= 0
