18.2. Potential energy 2 of 8

Question 2

Which of these holds gravitational potential energy?

The right answer is the one marked above.

A book resting on a high shelf. It is above the level it would fall to, so it holds a store of energy that a fall would release.

The car and the ball are moving, so they hold kinetic energy. The stone on the ground is at the level it would fall to, so its height above that level is zero.
