What type of energy is at work when mini-blinds are being raised or lowered

The type of energy that is ar work when blinds are being raised or lowered is potential energy. because potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position, the main cause of the potential energy is the acceleration due to gravity. so that is why its formual is PE = mgh
where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
