Potential energy.
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
There is no direct relationship because the potential energy of the book on the shelf is defined relative to an arbitrary base line at which the potential energy would be zero. The work done in raising the book is the increase in the potential energy of book from however much PE it had in its previous location - for example, on a lower shelf.
YES!
Potential Energy If it falls, it will then be subject of gravity, so it has the potential of becoming energetic. -------------------- The bookshelf could also catch fire and the book would release energy as heat.
Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.
Gravitational potential energy
Potential energy.
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
A book on the bottom shelf usually has more kinetic energy because it has the potential to fall from a greater height than a book on the top shelf. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, since the book has the potential to fall due to gravity when it is on the high shelf.
The work done while moving a book to a higher shelf is equal to the change in potential energy of the book. As the book is lifted to a higher shelf against gravity, work is done to increase its potential energy. The potential energy of the book on the higher shelf is directly proportional to the height it is raised to.

The work done in raising the book is the increase in the potential energy of book from however much PE it had in its previous location - for example, on a lower shelf.
When a book is falling from a bookshelf, it is in a state of kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy arises when the book is stationary on the shelf due to its height above the ground.
To increase the potential energy of the book, you can raise it to a higher shelf, increasing its distance from the ground. The potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above a reference point, in this case, the ground.
A book at rest on a shelf has potential energy due to its position in the gravitational field. This potential energy is determined by the book's height above the ground and the acceleration due to gravity.
