-- Any object has gravitational potential energy relative to any place
lower than where the object is. The stove in the kitchen has potential
energy relative to the basement floor.

-- If an object is not moving, then it has no kinetic energy. The stove has
no kinetic energy unless you throw it or drop it out of a window.
