When does an object have no kinetic energy?

• When it is at rest

• When it is moving very slowly

• When the only force acting on it is gravity

• When it has no electrical charge

When is potential energy transformed into kinetic energy?

• When an object at rest is lifted to a higher elevation.

• When an object at rest remains at rest.

• When an object at rest is put into motion.

• When an object in motion is stopped and put at rest.
