That sounds like a description of potential energy. However, the energy is not BECAUSE the object is at rest; rather, it's energy related to an object's position, with respect to other objects (specifically, if there is some force involved). For example, an object at a height of 100 meters will have a certain amount of gravitational potential energy - regardless of whether it is moving or not.

What does an object have when moving that it doesn't at rest?

An object has kinetic energy when it is moving and not when it is at rest. When it is at rest it has potential energy.


What s energy an object has because of its condition?

At rest-Potential Energy. During motion-Kinetic Energy.


Is energy at rest potential or kinetic energy?

Energy at rest is potential energy. It is stored energy that has the potential to be transformed into kinetic energy when an object is in motion.


When an object is at rest does it have potential energy?

Yes, an object at rest can have potential energy, such as gravitational potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy that an object has due to its position or condition.


What are the physical properties of an object at rest?

An object at rest has zero velocity and acceleration. Its position remains constant and it exerts no force on other objects. The object's energy is typically in the form of potential energy.


Does an object in motion have more energy than on object at rest?

Objects in motion have kinetic energy and objects at rest have potential energy. Whether or not the object in motion has more energy than the same object at rest or vice versa depends on specific circumstances. It depends on the speed of the object in motion.


Energy at rest is?

the energy due to position potiential energy


Why an object at rest on the ground has 0 Joules gravitational potential energy?

An object at rest on the ground has 0 Joules of gravitational potential energy because potential energy is calculated relative to a reference point, typically a certain height above the ground. When the object is on the ground, the height is considered to be zero, so there is no potential energy stored in the object relative to that reference point.


An object at rest that is capable of movement can possess potential energy because of what two factors?

position or its condition


The energy of an object at rest is called what?

It can, and does. All objects contain energy in their molecules, at any temperature above absolute zero (which no object can reasonably attain). In addition, the atoms of elements themselves have energy, which can be released by fission or fusion. Objects also have potential energy when within a gravitational field. Objects composed of compounds will usually have chemical energy Objects that are under tension or pressure also have the potential to release energy.


How is the energy of rolling object differ from the energy of the same object at rest?

When the object is rolling it has kinetic energy or KE and when the object is at rest it has potential energy or U. In this case both are mechanical energies and mechanical energy is conserved within a system meaning it is only transferred not gained or lost.


The kinetic energy of a 50 newton object resting on the edge of a cliff 30 meters high is?

The kinetic energy of the object at rest on the edge of the cliff is zero because there is no motion.
