Primarily potential energy (possibly a little bit of kinetic energy if it is swinging back and forth).
If whatever it is hanging by is severed, it will fall - transitioning from potential to kinetic energy.
When a pendulum is hanging straight down, it has gravitational potential energy. This energy is due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field.
The picture hanging on a wall has potential energy due to its position above the ground. When the picture is lifted higher, its potential energy increases, and when it is lowered, the potential energy decreases.
When a pendulum is hanging straight down, it has potential energy due to its position above the equilibrium point. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the pendulum swings back and forth.
A tree stores potential energy, also known as chemical energy, in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When burned, this stored energy is released as heat and light energy.
The energy stored in a tree is primarily potential energy. This energy is stored in the form of chemical energy through photosynthesis, where the tree converts sunlight into glucose and stores it in its cells for growth and metabolism. When the wood is burned, this stored energy is released as heat and light energy.

When the wood is burned, this stored energy is released as heat and light energy.
Burning one tree can release around 10-15 million BTUs of energy. This energy output can vary depending on the size and type of tree being burned.
When a walnut falls from a tree, it primarily involves gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. Initially, the walnut possesses gravitational potential energy due to its height in the tree. As it falls, this potential energy transforms into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, until it reaches the ground.
Gravitational.
For hanging mirrors, it is recommended to use mirror clips or specialized mirror hangers instead of nails. These are designed to securely hold the weight of the mirror and prevent damage. If nails must be used, choose heavy-duty picture hanging nails or screws that are appropriate for the weight of the mirror.
The weight and height of an object on Earth give it gravitational potential energy. This type of potential energy is based on the object's position in a gravitational field relative to the surface of the Earth.
Fatty and sugary foodstuffs have the highest energy content per weight unit.
