Question

Which object has potential energy?
A. can of gasoline
B. unlit lightbulb
C. stereo speaker
D. rock on the ground

Answer 1

The object that has potential energy among the options given is:

**A. can of gasoline** - It has chemical potential energy due to the energy stored in its chemical bonds.

However, if the question is about an object in a position that can do work due to its position, then you could also argue that a rock on the ground has gravitational potential energy, but since it is not elevated, it has less potential energy compared to the can of gasoline with respect to its chemical potential.

So the best answer is **A. can of gasoline**, considering its potential energy due to chemical energy.
