ExampleBookThe book had potential energy when it was on the table. Then as the book fell off the table, it was in motion and had kinetic energy.

1ballThe ball had potential energy because it was in one place. Then it rolled off the counter and it was kinetic energy.

2Paper airplane  The airplane was sitting on the table in had potential energy until I picked it up and threw it which made it kinetic energy.  

3Chips  Chips were in the closet sitting on the shelf which is potential energy and one fell of the shelf which made it kinetic energy.

4Clock  I put my clock on the wall which is potential energy and then a few days later it fell off which is kinetic energy.

5waterI had water sitting in a cup which is potential energy the I grabbed it and spilled which makes the water kinetic energy.

Explanation:

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy

answer   >   letter choice (c),   a hammer falling off a table.

hope that !                                         : )
