Two idential objects made of iron and wood, are allowed to fall from the same height on a heap of sand. It is found that the iron object penetrates more in the wooden object. Which of the two objects has more potential energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the iron object penderates more in the sand (then the wooden object), it does more work. As potential energy of an object has more potential energy then the wooden object.
