Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy can be thought of as stored energy, which has the potential of becoming kinetic energy once it has been released.

Answer:

Potential energy. Releasing it, the potential energy would convert into motion, kinetic energy.

Potential energy is when an object has some sort of potential eg. for motion such as in this example.
