It can, and does. All objects contain energy in their molecules, at any temperature above absolute zero (which no object can reasonably attain). In addition, the atoms of elements themselves have energy, which can be released by fission or fusion.

Objects also have potential energy when within a gravitational field.

Objects composed of compounds will usually have chemical energy

Objects that are under tension or pressure also have the potential to release energy.

Unless the object has some internal components capable of storing energy (such as a compressing spring), the energy of an object at rest is the energy associated with the object's mass (or rest-mass to be exact).

I guess you're referring to mass energy, which relates mass and energy by e = m*c^2? Also known as rest energy :)

Potential energy is the answer because potential energy is an energy at rest.

According the Einstein's theory of Mass-Energy Equivalence then any mass at rest will have an internal energy described by E=mc2

What does an object have when moving that it doesn't at rest?

An object has kinetic energy when it is moving and not when it is at rest. When it is at rest it has potential energy.


What object has low kinetic energy?

An object at rest.


Does an object in motion have more energy than on object at rest?

Objects in motion have kinetic energy and objects at rest have potential energy. Whether or not the object in motion has more energy than the same object at rest or vice versa depends on specific circumstances. It depends on the speed of the object in motion.


What type of energy of rest or stored energy?

Energy is stored in form of chemical energy. It is stored in object at rest.


How is the energy of rolling object differ from the energy of the same object at rest?

When the object is rolling it has kinetic energy or KE and when the object is at rest it has potential energy or U. In this case both are mechanical energies and mechanical energy is conserved within a system meaning it is only transferred not gained or lost.


What is internal energy of an object?

the energy which absorved in the object is called internal energy


Definition objects at rest?

An object that has no kinetic energy, only potential energy.


Is the energy that flows from a hot object to a cold object it is in contact with is called kinetic energy?

No. It is called thermal energy.


What is heat energy called in an object?

Thermal energy of the object or body.


Are all object at rest has a potential energy?

Potential energy is energy of position. If you talk about gravitational potential energy, an object higher up has more potential energy. It doesn't make sense to assign an "absolute value" to potential energy; you can only talk about a difference in potential energy. However, for purposes of calculation, you can arbitrarily assign a potential energy of zero for objects at a certain height - for example, the ground level, or an infinite distance from Earth.


What is energy of a miving object called?

It is called kinetic energy.


How is potential and kinetic energy alike?

Both include motion. Kinetic energy is an object put into motion and potential energy is the energy an object has when it's still or at rest.
