Q: What type of energy can be used to change the position or shape of an object, thus giving it potential energy?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Mechanical energy commonly changes between kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of moving objects. Potential energy is energy that is stored in objects, typically because of their position or shape. Kinetic energy can be used to change the position or shape of an object, giving it potential energy. Potential energy gives the object the potential to move. If it does, the potential energy changes back to kinetic energy.

 Choices:

- static energy

- binary energy

- harmonic energy

- kinetic energy


A:
kinetic energy
