Question

Can an object have energy even when at rest? If yes, give two example in support of your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

When an object is at rest, it still can do work, because being at rest is merely experiencing an opposite force that is stopping the motion. The energy stored in the object at rest is called potential energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Einstein told us that an object at rest has some equivalent energy E=mc2 . This is necessary so that the speed of light can always be constant, no matter the reference frame of the observer. This means that anything with mass will intrinsically have some energy.
