That is called potential energy. It can be gravitational as in a body raised above the earth's surface, or chemical as in fossil fuels, or nuclear as in uranium. It means the energy is there in the material but will not be utilised unless some action is taken to release it.

What form of energy is a bolder sitting on a cliff?
The type of energy of a boulder sitting on a cliff is potential energy. Potential energy is possible energy as opposed to actual energy. If it were to start rolling down the hill, the energy would change to kinetic energy.
Why is it not possible to convert complete heat energy to mechanical energy?
It is possible. In fact it is an everyday occurrence.
Is it possible to see energy?

Is it possible to convert heat energy into mechanical energy?
yes it is.
Is storage of unlimited quantities of energy in batteries is possible?
No, it is not possible.

Can lightning be turned into reusable energy?
In theory it should be possible, but I haven't heard of any actual machinery to use lightning energy. Perhaps you could design one.
What is initial energy?
it is the actual energy shown at the beginning
The tempertaure scale that is based on the actual kinetic energy of the molecules is the?

Is this possible to convert sound energy in to electrical energy?
Yes it is possible.
Is the energy in electricity the same energy in your body?
Not quite. There are different types of energy, though it is often possible to convert one type of energy to another. The part of the body that uses actual bioelectric impulses is the nervous system, which receives signals from all parts of the body and reacts to control metabolism and motion.
If a town's population is rounded to the nearest hundred is 1000 what is the largest possible actual population?

How is this possible without light energy it is giving off?
it is possible because the higher the frenqueny the higher the energy
Tell me all your tips for saving energy?
One the energy saving appliances, what are the actual savings?

Can inverter save energy?
Yes and no! it is possible to charge a battery from an inverter but more energy is drawn from the source than the energy that is saved, so no it is not possible.
