Answer 1

All energy can be classified into two main categories: **potential energy** and **kinetic energy**.

- **Potential Energy**: This is the energy stored in an object due to its position, condition, or composition. Examples include gravitational potential energy and chemical energy.

- **Kinetic Energy**: This is the energy of motion. Any object that is moving has kinetic energy, which depends on its mass and speed.

So the correct response is **potential** and **kinetic**.
