Kinetic energy is the energy a body has because of its motion. Potential energy is stored energy inside an object that is contained.
Example:stuffing stored in turkey
History
A roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.
Potential Energy
Potential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it has very little kinetic energy.
Kinetic Energy
The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. As the train accelerates down the hill the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. There is very little potential energy at the bottom of the hill, but there is a great amount of kinetic energy.
Theory
When the train is at the top and bottom of the hill there is not any potential or kinetic energy being used at all. The train at the bottom of the first drop should have enough energy to get back up the height of the lift hill. The "Act of Faith" in riding these amazing rides which seems more of a phenomena that is only a theory. In practices, the train never could make it back up the hill because of dissipative forces. Friction and air resistance, and even possible mid-course breaks, are dissipative forces causing the theory to be changed but not destroyed. These forces make it impossible for the train to have enough energy to make it back up the lift hill's height. In the absence of the dissipative forces the potential and kinetic energies(mechanical energy) will remain the same. Since the mechanical energy is destroyed by the forces, the first hill is always the highest
The energy stored in a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy.
The energy stored in a body due to its position (height) or shape is called potential energy.
So a body at rest may have potential energy but it has no kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is due to the motion of an object and is a vector energy.
Potential energy is due to something's position or state and is a scalar energy.
The energy of motion is called kinetic energy .energy that is stored and held in readiness is called potential energy .so that'show it's different.
it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.
Chemical energy is a type of potential energy.
no, kinetic energy is the energy below so if u hold a ball up in the air it has most potential energy but if u drop the ball the potential energy goes down and the kinetic energy goes up.
The difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that is waiting to be utilized, such as a battery, a car on a hill, or food. Kinetic energy is potential energy that has been put to use, so the electricity from a battery, a car rolling down a hill, and using food energy to run are all examples of kinetic energy.
When the earthquake is active its energy is kinetic because it involves the production of motion.
Kinetic energy is due to the motion of an object and is a vector energy. Potential energy is due to something's position or state and is a scalar energy.
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
can be converted to potential energy.
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
a energy at rest is potential energy. because kinetic energy is a energy in motion.
