Potential Energy

It is the energy possesed by a body by virtue of its position

Explanation:

hope it's helpful for you

Answer 2

Explanation:

Energy stored in an object due to its position is Potential Energy. Energy that a moving object has due to its motion is Kinetic Energy.

Example of Kinetic Energy:

A truck moving down the road has more kinetic energy than a car travelling at the same speed because the truck's mass is much more than the car's.

Example of Potential Energy:

A car that is parked at the top of a hill.
