Question

1. jerome was sitting under an oak tree while resting after football practice. he looked up and saw several acorns hanging from tree branches.

potential energy
kinetic energy

Explanation:

To determine the type of energy the acorns have, we recall the definitions: Potential Energy is stored energy due to position (like an object at a height), and Kinetic Energy is energy of motion. The acorns are hanging (stationary) from tree branches, so they have stored energy due to their height above the ground. Thus, they possess Potential Energy.

Answer:

Potential Energy
