Explain how a skateboard resting on the ground contains energy. If the skateboard were moving , would it have more energy than it did at rest? Explain.

A resting skateboard has potential energy, meaning that it's being stored.
If it starts moving, it now has kinetic energy, meaning it has more energy.

When the skate board is resting, it has potential energy, if it started to move the energy would increase and become kinetic energy.
