A coffee mug, it’s on a window, seal of an apartment window 20 m off the ground, the cat that lives in the apartment jumps onto the windowsill and knock the mug out of the window, causing the mug to fall towards the ground outside before the cat hits the mug what type of energy does the mug have?
When the mug is knocked out of the window and falls towards the ground, it possesses potential energy (specifically gravitational potential energy) due to its height above the ground. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the mug falls downward.
