Question

Find a pencil or another small object in your home. Place the object on the edge
of a desk or table. What type of energy does it have? If it is safe to do so, tap the object so it
falls off the desk. What type of energy does it have as it is falling?

Answer 1

Answer:

when the pencil is still it is known as potential energy but when the object falls it changes from potential energy to kinetic energy

Explanation:

potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

Kinetic energy, form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion.
