its potential energy because potential eneergy is, nvm i answered your question time to go answer some more :D o.-
a speeding auto is actually both kinetic and potential. i even checked with my science teacher -L.K ;) <3
An energy transfer is kinetic if it involves movement of an object, like an object speeding up or slowing down. It is potential if it involves stored energy that can be released later, like an object held at a height that can fall due to gravity.
Potential energy is used when going up hill on a roller coaster. When it starts gong down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Kinetic
It is KINETIC energy- mass in motion. Prior to being fired, the cartridge has POTENTIAL energy- stored, but not released (yet)
kinetic
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that has the opportunity to become kinetic. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.examples of potential energy- a spring being squeezed; When you are at the top of the diving board getting ready to dive; winding up before you throw a pitch (in softball); etc.examples of kinetic energy- a person running; a car speeding; falling down the stairs; etc.
A speeding bullet has kinetic energy, which is the energy associated with its motion. As the bullet travels, it carries this kinetic energy due to its velocity and mass.
A speeding bullet has a ton of 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.
