What is potential (or gravitational potential) energy?
It takes energy for this to occur
What is motion?
Energy that results from the position or shape of an object
What is potential energy?
Anytime you exert a force on an object that causes the object to move in the same direction as the force
What is work?
Food in the form of plants is this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
