Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object. The classic example of potential energy is to pick up a brick. When it's on the ground, the brick had a certain amount of energy.

False. Non moving objects can have energy in the form of gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, thermal energy, internal energy, nuclear energy, or chemical energy.
