Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).

Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).

Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0Ã—10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.
