It is potential because it moves.
Anything that moves.
Scientists classify energy into two main categories: potential energy, which is stored energy that an object has based on its position or condition, and kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion an object possesses. These two forms of energy can then be further divided into various subcategories based on their specific characteristics and interactions.
Think of an object falling from a cliff: Potential energy = mass x gravity x height. So a larger object falling from a higher cliff will start out with more potential energy. As it falls, it speeds up, converting its potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity2. If it bounces, some of that KE is converted back into PE; otherwise it is lost as heat and sound (or in breaking things).
Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of chemicals. When these bonds are broken, the potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
No, not everything has potential energy. Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy. Objects that are stationary or at rest may not have potential energy.
Energy at rest is potential energy. It is stored energy that has the potential to be transformed into kinetic energy when an object is in motion.
The energy associated with energy is known as "energy".
Stored energy is known as potential energy, which includes gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and chemical potential energy. When an object is in motion, it possesses kinetic energy which is the energy of motion.
