There are several ways to give an object potential energy. One can move the object against the force of gravity to increase. One can also stretch an object out or put pressure on it.
Water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and land. This cycling is a very important process that helps sustain life on Earth. As the water evaporates, vapors rise, and condense into clouds. The clouds move over land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice, or snow.

Explanation :
Definition of potential energy : energy stored that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system
Answer:
Explanation:
It is easier if you convert the kelvin temperature into Celsius degrees:
- ºC = T - 273.15 = 150 - 273.15 = -123.15ºC
Now, you know that that is a very cold temperature. Thus, may be the oxygen is not gas any more but it changed to liquid . . . or solid?
You must search for the boiling point and melting (freezing) point of oxygen in tables or the internet. At standard pressure (about 1 atm) they are:
- Melting point: −218.79 °C,
- Boiling point: −182.962 °C
That means that:
- below -218.79ºC oxygen is solid (not our case).
- between -218.79ºC and -182.962ºC oxygen is liquid (not our case)
- over -182.962ºC oxygen is a gas. This is our case, because -123.15ºC is a higher temperature than -182.962ºC.
Hence, <em>the state of matter of oxygen at 150K</em>, and standard pressure, is gas.
