A student wants to design an investigation to determine if an object has potential energy. What are some questions the student could ask to determine if the object contains potential energy? (Select 2)

Does the object have kinetic energy?

Does the object move when it is released from a rest position?

Does work have to be done to hold the object in place?

Does a force act on an object?

Is the object part of a system?

(i had another attempt, and 2 and 5 were innocent)

Question 1 and he could ask the position of the object because potential energy is an energy due to the object’s position
