What is potential energy (PE)?

Question

Question 1 options:

stored energy

both energy in motion and stored energy

energy in motion

stored energy because of its position

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

stored energy because of its position.

Potential energy (PE) is the energy stored in an object due to its position, condition, or arrangement. For example, gravitational potential energy depends on an object's height and mass, while elastic potential energy is related to the deformation of elastic materials.
