A body at rest has potential energy due to gravity. An example might be a ball that is tossed straight up. As it goes up, it is trading kinetic energy for potential energy. When it reaches the high point, its kinetic energy is zero and its potential energy is maximal, causing it to start falling, initiating the re-trade of potential energy for kinetic energy.

On Howrse how do you build up a horses energy?

To raise energy on Howrse you can feed, stroke, and put in the pasture. In addition you can:Suckle the foal0,005 X the energy he already hassalt stone0,03 X the energy he already hasGive a turnip to eat+ 10% energyGive a carrot to eat+ 4% energyGive something to drink+ 2% energyGive an Energy mash :+5 % energy (can be given only every 3 days)

What happens to a body originally at rest when force is applied on it?

When force is applied on a body originally at rest, the body begins to move. For example, a car originally at rest when pushed, begins to move. A grass roller when pulled begins to move. A ball lying on the ground moves when it is kicked.


Can a body have acceleration while at rest give example?

No, a body cannot have acceleration while at rest. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, meaning it requires the object to be in motion. When an object is at rest, its velocity is zero, so there is no change in velocity, hence no acceleration.

Is it possible a rest body is not in equilibrium?

Rest implies stationary, equilibrium implies a resultant force of zero. Therefore, a body in equilibrium could be moving, for example a sky diver at terminal velocity, where resistive forces are equal to the force of gravity. This means that a body can be in equilibrium and not at rest, but a body at rest MUST be in equilibrium, otherwise it would move. So, to answer the question is: It's impossible.

Give an example in which rest and motion occurs at same time?

A guy/girl driving a car is a good example of this question because when guy/girl is driving his/her body is in rest but also in motion because of the movement of car hope its the answer of the question
