The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.
Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the
uneven heating rates of water and land.
The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the
day. At this rate, the air above the
land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter
than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to
rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the
land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or
replace the rising warm air.</span>
