* Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or state.
* Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
The milk in the glass has potential energy due to its:
* Gravitational potential energy: The milk is held above the ground, so it has the potential to fall and release energy.
* Chemical potential energy: The milk contains chemical bonds that store energy, which can be released through chemical reactions (like digestion).
The milk is not moving, so it doesn't have kinetic energy.
