🔍 Key Concepts

• Kinetic vs. potential energy – how they differ in basic physics definitions • How motion and position relate to different forms of energy • Everyday examples of objects that are moving versus objects that are stored/held in place

💭 Think About

• Which term specifically refers to energy that an object has because it is actually moving, right now? • Which type of energy is associated with an object’s position or condition, even if it is not moving? • For the other options, think: do they describe a form or source of energy, or do they literally mean ‘energy due to motion’?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option’s basic textbook definition is “energy of motion.” • Confirm that potential energy is tied to position or stored energy, not active motion. • Check whether electrical or thermal energy are broad categories of energy sources, rather than the specific term for motion-based energy.
