Alanna Mathews · Answer 1

An object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time.

Explanation:

For example, an object which is falling, but has not yet reached the ground has kinetic energy because it is moving downwards, and potential energy because it is able to move downwards even further than it already has.
