Can a system have energy if nothing is moving in the system?
this is my conclusion
A system at rest can have potential energy. Kinetic energy is associated with objects that are moving or in motion. If a system is in a state of rest or not moving, the energy it has is stored.
I know that is a true statement if the object is suspended in the air but what if it is lying on a flat surface on the ground.
