Question

Which of these is a type of potential energy?

Answer 1

Potential energy is also stored energy. So like if an object is raised above the ground, it has a lot of potential energy bc it’s storing a lot of energy that’s going to turn into kinetic energy once the object drops. So batteries, stretched rubber bands, a parked car on a hill all have potential energy.

Answer 2

There are six types of potential energy: mechanical energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, radiant energy, nuclear energy, and thermal energy.
