Question

which type of energy does an apple hanging from a tree have?
it has kinetic energy because it still has a distance to move before it hits the ground and potential energy because it is moving.
it only has kinetic energy because it is moving.
it only has potential energy because it still has a distance to move before it hits the ground, but it is not moving
it has potential energy because it still has a distance to move before it hits the ground and kinetic energy because it is moving.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Since the apple is not moving, it has no kinetic energy. Potential energy is related to an object's position. The apple has height above the ground (it can fall), so it has potential energy.

Answer:

It only has potential energy because it still has a distance to move before it hits the ground, but it is not moving.
