उत्तर
The potential energy of your body is least when you are sleeping on the ground.
Explanation:
Based on its position, any object can store energy. Potential energy is the stored energy in that position. For example, a drawn bow stores energy due to its position. When the bow is in its usual posture, that is, when it is not drawn, no energy is stored in it. However, if its position is altered from its typical equilibrium state, it can store energy as a result of its position.
When it comes to gravitational potential energy. A relationship between an object's height and gravitational potential energy is observed. The gravitational potential energy of an object increases with its elevation.
A person seated in a chair is the most elevated of the possibilities shown. As a result, it possesses the most potential energy. When sleeping or lying down on the ground, a person's height from the ground is at its lowest. As a result, when a person sleeps on the ground, his or her potential energy is limited.
