potential energy is the energy of an object that is not moving
Explanation:
example a skateboarder stands at the top of the ramp he has no kinetic energy but alot of potential energy when he goes down the ramp he loses the potential energy he has and it transforms into kinetic energy
Potential energy is stored energy as a result of an object's chemistry, position, or state. An object that is squashed, such as a spring, has potential energy. So does a tennis ball that is hit in the air. In other words, potential energy is stored energy.
