Question

Explain how a skateboard resting on the ground contains energy. If the skateboard were moving , would it have more energy than it did at rest? Explain.

Answer 1

When the skate board is resting, it has potential energy, if it started to move the energy would increase and become kinetic energy.

Answer 2

A resting skateboard has potential energy, meaning that it's being stored.
If it starts moving, it now has kinetic energy, meaning it has more energy.
