What type of energy can be potential energy?

Answer 1

Potential energy is the available energy available to an object in order to perform "work". This can take the form of batteries and similar objects, but most frequently, it is used specifically in the context of motion.

If you think about a roller coaster, at the top of the hill, it has potential energy. As it begins to descend, it changes to kinetic energy which causes the roller coaster car to accelerate down the hill.
Stationary energy is known as potential energy
it is the energy of shape and position

Answer 2

Potential energy means stored energy. There are several types, e.g.:

• gravitational potential energy, possessed by raised objects like a wrecking ball.
• elastic potential energy, possessed by a stretched spring.
• chemical potential energy, possessed by a fuel or the chemicals in a battery.
