🔍 Key Concepts

• Potential energy vs. kinetic energy in basic physics • How position in a field (like gravity) can store energy • Difference between energy units and speed/pressure units

💭 Think About

• Think about what changes when you lift an object higher above the ground: which kind of energy are you increasing? • Which type of energy is directly related to motion, and which one exists even when the object is not moving? • Look at the choices: which ones describe a definition of energy, and which ones are actually describing a unit or type of measurement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option matches energy due to motion (that one is NOT potential). • Eliminate any choices that are just units or measurements (not definitions of energy). • Focus on the option that clearly links energy to an object’s position or height rather than its speed or pressure.
