Question

Which of the following types of energy does an object have because of its position?

Answer 1

Potential Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Any body that is static in a particular position possesses a potential energy as far as it is not moving.

But if it is moving, then it possesses a kinetic energy. The first and main energy a body possess due to it's position is therefore known as potential energy, because it has the potential of converting it to other forms of energy after a slight application of force.

Answer 2

potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

energy which is linked with the position of the object is called as potential energy. any object possessing energy due to its position is potential energy. example is holding a basketball up in to the air at a certain height so that it will have a gravitational pull towards earth surface. this gravitation pull is called as potential energy.
