| Dec 7, 2017 at 23:45 | comment | added | paradox | My question is about potential energy in general. As stated in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy. "In physics, potential energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors..." By holding something stationary, am I possessing potential energy similar to electrical charges for example. | |
