kinetic is related to movement.equation=1/2mv*v(m=mass,v=velocity)
potential is related to position or shape and can be elastic potential energy or gravitational potential energy.equation=mgh (m=mass,g=acc. due to gravity,h=hight)

Unlike kinetic energy potential energy is?
Potential energy is stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.
When you draw back and bend a bow you do work in bending the bow and give the arrow in the bow kinetic energy?
When you bend the bow, you are imparting kinetic energy from your pull into the bow as potential energy. When you release the string, you are imparting that potential energy into the arrow through the string.
What was the driving force of water?
Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.
What kind of energy was used to propel Christopher Columbus ships?
that was the kinetic energy?
What energy conversion occurs in a battery operated flash light?
Chemical potential energy is converted to electrical potential energy. When the circuit is closed, the electrical potential becomes kinetic energy as electrons flow through the conductor. When the electrons meet the resistance of the flashlight lamp, they do work on the filament, converting electron flow into heat, causing the filament to increase in temperature. The filament is designed to convert that heat into radiant light.
What type of energy is stored up?
ATP
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
The definition of heat?
warmness *the earth science definition*- The average Kinetic energy of a substance. Kinetic energy is energy at motion. Potential energy is energy at rest.
When a baseball player throws a baseball he transfers kinetic energy from his body to kinetic energy in the ball Where does the baseball player get his kinetic energy from?
The kinetic energy comes from potential energy, which he got from ATP energy, which is produced through food. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy after the muscles contract and relax. Sources: School science
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.
What is energy that is associated with motion or position of an object?
It is internal energy that drives atoms or molecules in a random manner
Is a speeding auto potential or kinetic energy?
a speeding auto is actually both kinetic and potential. i even checked with my science teacher -L.K ;) <3
Formula for mechanical energy?
potential energy+kinetic energy=mechanical energy
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.
What are the two basic types of 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.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
