The difference between potential and kinetic energy all comes down to a very simple property of the object. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy, or kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object and can be released under the right conditions.
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))
Potential energy becomes static energy in the form of a difference of potential energy between two bodies, or clouds of charged particles. For instance the motion of any object against another object causes particles to become statically charged. That is potential and electrical. Once an electrical path is found between those fields the electrical force becomes similar to kinetic force and this is current.
It's potential energy decreases.
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the motion of an object (real). Potential energy is a measure of the kinetic energy an object WOULD have if it were to be released and allowed to fall.
The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects. Thus, there is a gravitational potential energy between Earth and Moon, or between a rock that you lift up on the Moon, and the Moon.The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects.

An object gets gravitational potential energy by
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
the higher an object is the more potential energy it has
Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
true
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
