all objects do have energy it is all a question of which type you have potential; energy and kinetic energy potential energy is like stored energy and the object is known to have the potential to do work wher as kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to the motion of the object

The object can do work on another object, it can move forward in to endless time and space, it can move a distance until friction takes over, it can change forms of energy (Like Kinetic Energy to Potential Energy), there are many possibilities..... Normally, in the real world if the object is a machine that produces energy, it usually increases the rate at which the energy is used, or the energy is used more efficiently. If an object is being pushed, the energy stored in the object (Potential Energy, or PE for short) converts into moving energy (Kinetic Energy, or KE for short) and that same object moves until frictional forces take over. There are MANY more uses, but these are just the few uses that you would observe more frequently in daily life.

Potential energy is the energy of position. An object at a higher position has more potential energy. The idea is that it has the potential to do work - the "potential energy" can be converted to other kinds of energy. In fact, this could be said about most other kinds of energy as well (that you can convert them to other types of energy). I assume the name is given for historical reasons.
Ans:
Potential energy is the potential to do work. If you lift a block to 20m height, it has the potential to fall through that distance under the force of gravity.
work done = force times distance

Does friction stop thing from moving?
Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.
What is motion energy?
Such is called kinetic energy.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
This will cause the object to slow down.
What can cause the motion of an object to change?
Force
A force in the opposite direction to the motion of the object will cause the object to?
Turn!!

Does energy cause motion and create change?
This can involve changing the shape of matter, or changing the speed or direction of an object.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
This will cause the object to slow down.
What can cause the motion of an object to change?
Force
What is the ability to do work or cause motion?
Energy is the ability to do work or cause motion
A force in the opposite direction to the motion of the object will cause the object to?
Turn!!
What forces causes no change in an object motion?
Balanced forces that net to zero cause no change in an object motion.
What is the primary cause of changes in motion?
A force is an application of energy to cause a change in motion.
How do you know an object has energy?
Usually it means the object has gained height. It could also happen if the object is moved to a planet with higher gravity. Potential NRG also occurs when a positively charged object moves into an area of higher potential in a electric or magnetic field, or when a negatively charged object moves into an area of lower potential in an electric or magnetic field.
Do all forces always cause motion?
-- First of all, motion doesn't require any force.-- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, then the object's motion changes. Always.-- If the forces on an object are balanced, then the object's motion doesn't change.
How does a backward force affect an object's motion?
It would cause the object to decelerate.
