Question

1. araceli went hiking in the mountains with her family. along the trail she observed a huge boulder on the edge of a cliff that looked like it was about to fall. potential energy kinetic energy

Explanation:

To determine the type of energy the boulder has, we recall the definitions: Potential energy is stored energy due to position, while kinetic energy is energy of motion. The boulder is on the edge of a cliff (a certain height, not moving yet), so it has stored energy based on its position (height relative to the ground). This matches the definition of potential energy.

Answer:

POTENTIAL ENERGY
