Potential energy is when the particles are at rest and kinetic energy is when the particles are in motion.

A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express the difference?

Volts. Volts is another term for potential.


What is an example of kinetic energy transferred to potiental energy?

Any object which is moving from a lower level to a higher level is converting kenetic energy (ie climbing a set of stairs for example) to potential energy. A car which has been parked at the top of a hill has used kenetic enegry to get up there and has potential to roll down to the bottom of the hill if the brake is released.


Whats the difference between activation energy and the change of energy in a PE diagram?

Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur, while the change in energy in a potential energy diagram represents the difference in energy between the reactants and the products of a reaction. Activation energy is specific to the transition state of a reaction, whereas the change in energy is a measure of the overall energy difference between reactants and products.


What is the si unit for potential energy difference?

Potential energy is measure in Joules (J). A Joule is a Newton*meter (N*m)


What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy in a ven diagram?

Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. In a Venn diagram, potential energy would be shown in one circle, kinetic energy in another, with the overlapping area representing objects that have both potential and kinetic energy simultaneously.
