What is potential energy?

• Energy stored in an object due to its position, like a book on a shelf.

• Energy that is in motion, such as a rolling ball.

• Energy that is released during a chemical reaction.

• Energy that is generated by a moving object, like wind energy.

What is Newton's third law of motion?

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• Objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

• The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
