A body was slightly displaced from its equilibrium position. Which one of the following is a condition for its stable equilibrium
-
A.
an increase in the kinetic energy of the body -
B.
an increase in the potential energy of the body -
C.
a decrease in the kinetic energy of the body -
D.
an increase in the height of the body
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Stable equilibrium brings about increase in potential energy as the height rises after displacement.
