Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy something has because it is moving. Potential energy is the energy something has because of its position or configuration.
How do kinetic and potential differ?
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.
What are the difference between potential energy kinetic energy and thermal energy?
potential energy- is derived chemically from something kinetic energy-is derived from something by the motion the object has thermal energy-is derived by heat or cold
What are the differences between potential energy and kinetic energy and thermal energy?
potential energy- is derived chemically from something kinetic energy-is derived from something by the motion the object has thermal energy-is derived by heat or cold
What are the two types of mechanical 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
Which state of energy is when something is ABOUT to happen?
Potential energy is energy that is not kinetic or moving.
What are the two main forms of 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.
How does kinetic energy is delivered to you?
By any source of electrical power moving any object any amount of distance. Because kinetic energy is the ability to move something with a force. So without kinetic energy it would be stored energy called potential energy.
Is Kientic energy greater than potential energy?
potential energy is when something has the ability to use kinetic energy so it really depends on how much energy that something has
How would you explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is energy related to movement. The formula is (1/2) mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is energy of position. The formula for gravitional potential energy is mgh (mass times gravitation times height).
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
