|
|
|
The amount of energy transferred in motion
|
|
|
The amount of energy an object has at rest / before motion
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Potential energy, expressed in science as U, is energy that is stored within an object, not in motion but capable of becoming active. When at rest, every object has rest mass potential energy; if the object is in a position to be affected by gravity and to fall, it has gravitational potential energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position or configuration. In other words, potential energy refers to the energy which an object holds due to its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
