When force is applied on a body, then the elastic potential energy is stored in it. On removing the force, this energy

Correct answer: A. Converts into kinetic energy

  • A. Converts into kinetic energy
  • B. Converts into heat energy
  • C. Remains as potential energy
  • D. Transforms into sound energy

Explanation

When force is applied to a body, it stores energy as elastic potential energy. Upon removal of the force, this energy is predominantly converted into kinetic energy, causing the body to move or return to its original shape. This is because the stored energy is released, leading to motion. Other forms of energy transformation, like heat or sound, may occur, but are not the primary result of removing the force. The incorrect options either suggest energy remains as potential energy or transform into forms like heat or sound, which are secondary effects.
