Question

1 potential energy is best defined as which of the following? a energy of motion b stored energy c energy of height d mass energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state, which is stored energy. Energy of motion is kinetic energy. Energy of height is a form of potential energy (gravitational potential energy), but potential energy is more generally stored energy. Mass - energy is related to Einstein's $E = mc^{2}$ and is not the general definition of potential energy.

Answer:

B. Stored Energy
