Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy present within an object due to its position.

Mathematically, P.E = mgh

where, m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the object

Therefore, when a picture hanging on a wall then it is placed at a definite position from where it is not moving. Hence, the energy possessed by it will be potential energy.

Therefore, we can conclude that a picture hanging on a wall has potential energy.
