Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

2. Assertion (A): Potential energy exists only when an object is moving.

Reason (R): A stationary object kept at a height possesses gravitational potential energy.

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
