Answer:

Potential

Explanation:

The water in the bathtub has more potential energy than that in the tea cup because it has a greater number of water molecules.

Mass is a parameter that is very instrumental in determining potential energy.

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of that body.

   Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Water in the tub will have more mass and contain a greater number of water molecules there in.

Since potential energy is directly proportional to mass, then, it will have a greater amount of potential energy.
