Question

1. potential energy is...

a. the energy that gives an object the potential to move.
b. the energy an object has while moving.
c. the energy water has while it is boiling.

1. kinetic energy is...

a. the energy that gives an object the potential to move.
b. the energy an object has while moving.
c. the energy a skateboarder has at the top of a hill.

1. which object has no potential energy?

a. an apple hanging from an apple tree
b. a ball sitting on the ground
c. a skateboarder standing at the top of a hill

1. give two examples of kinetic energy from the selection.
2. give two examples of potential energy from the selection.

Explanation:

1. Potential energy is the energy that gives an object the potential to move due to its position or state. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has while moving.
2. An apple hanging from a tree and a skate - boarder standing at the top of a hill have potential energy due to their position. A ball sitting on the ground has minimal potential energy relative to the others if we consider ground - level as a zero - potential reference.
3. Examples of kinetic energy involve objects in motion.

Answer:

1. a. the energy that gives an object the potential to move.
2. b. the energy an object has while moving.
3. b. a ball sitting on the ground
4. A moving car, a running person
5. An apple hanging from a tree, a skateboarder standing at the top of a hill
