Question

question 1
what is the possible or stored energy in an object called?
kinetic energy
chemical energy
potential energy
thermal energy

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Kinetic energy is energy of motion, not stored.
• Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds, but the term for general stored energy is not this.
• Potential energy is defined as stored or possible energy (due to position, state, etc.).
• Thermal energy is related to heat, not stored energy in the general sense.

Answer:

C. potential energy
