To determine the type of energy possessed in each case, we will analyze the situations one by one and identify whether they represent kinetic energy (K) or potential energy (U). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **A moving cricket ball**: - A moving cricket ball is in motion. Therefore, it possesses **kinetic energy (K)**. 2. **A compressed spring**: ...
