Question

potential or kinetic? monkey hanging from a tree (with options potential, kinetic and an image of a monkey)

Explanation:

To determine if the energy is potential or kinetic, we recall: Potential energy is stored energy due to position/condition (like gravitational potential energy from height), kinetic energy is energy of motion. A monkey hanging from a tree is stationary (not moving), so its energy is stored due to its height above the ground (gravitational potential energy). Thus, it's potential energy.

Answer:

POTENTIAL (the box labeled "POTENTIAL" corresponding to "MONKEY HANGING FROM A TREE")
