Question

review it!
select the statement(s) that accurately describe either potential or kinetic energy
an example of kinetic energy is a person jumping rope.
potential energy is when an object is moving due to its position.
a book sitting on a table has kinetic energy.
potential energy is energy that is stored in an object.
kinetic energy is energy in motion.

Explanation:

• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A person jumping rope is in motion, so that is an example of kinetic energy. Also, the definition of kinetic energy as "energy in motion" is correct.
• Potential energy is stored energy. So the statement "Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object" is correct.
• The statement "Potential energy is when an object is moving due to its position" is wrong because potential energy is stored energy (not energy of motion).
• A book sitting on a table is not in motion, so it does not have kinetic energy.

Answer:

• An example of kinetic energy is a person jumping rope.
• Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object.
• Kinetic energy is energy in motion.
