What type of energy is stored?
There are two types of energy: potential and kinetic.
Potential energy is stored energy.
Kinetic energy is energy that is in motion.
The correct answer is potential energy.
Compare your answer with the correct one above

Select the example of potential energy.
There are two types of energy: potential and kinetic.
Potential energy is stored energy.
Kinetic energy is energy that is in motion.
We are looking for the option that is not in motion:
A baseball being thrown is in motion; thus, this is not the correct answer.
An insect flying is in motion; thus, this is not the correct answer.
A car driving down the road is in motion; thus this is not the correct answer.
A stretched rubber band is not moving, it's in waiting. Once a stretched rubber band is let go, it will likely fly across the room. But as it's just stretched, it has potential energy.

The wheels on a car that isn't being driven are not in motion; thus, this is not the correct answer.
A frisbee before it is thrown is not in motion; thus, this is not the correct answer.
A flowing river is in motion; thus, this is the correct answer.
