The definition for Potenial Energy- is stored up energy due to its position the definition for Kinetc Energy- is energy an object has due to its motion. [motion is moving]
Here are some examples of Potenial Energy
a man on top of a slide, a cup on a table, and a pencil on a desk.
remember potenial energy is something that's stay still or don't move
Here are some Examples of Kinetc Energy
a moving car, a moving bus, amoving train, and a moving truck.
remember kinetc energy is something that moves .. another word for move is motion. one mor example: water in the ocean is moving.

∙ 13y agoKinetic energy is the energy of motion. Moving objects, be they large trucks, or planets, or tiny atomic particles, their motion is kinetic energy.
Potential energy is energy that is stored, dormant. It is often based upon an objects position, such as at the top of a hill, or at the end of a taught rubber band. It is only by moving from this position is the potential energy released, and transformed into another form of energy (usually kinetic)

∙ 13y agoEnergy is composed of Potential Energy( or Scalar or Real Energy) and Kinetic Vector Energy, E= EP + EK.
Potential energy is dependent on position and Kinetic energy is dependent on velocity, EK= mcV.

∙ 13y agoKinetic energy refers to energy a mass has due to its motion. It is the amount of energy required to accelerate the mass from stationary to its current velocity.
Potential energy is the amount of energy stored due to an object's position. The best known example is that of an object raised above the ground. The potential energy is the energy required to lift it to the position. When the object is released, gravity will accelerate the body and convert the potential energy into kinetic energy.
Potential energy can also be stored in springs that are under tension or compression. Catapults and bows held under tension are also examples of potential energy. The term applies equally to energy stored electrically, chemically and so on.

What is an example of potiential energy to kinetic energy?
Jumping off a tall cliff.
What are some examples of potiential and kinetic energy?
a yo-yo, a car in motion, water falling from a water fall, walking or running, a bullet that has been fired.
Energy at rest is?
the energy due to position potiential energy
What form of energy is a man on a mountain?
On the mountain, before they fall, they have "potential" energy. When they are falling they have "kinetic" energy.
Which of these is an example of potiential energy?
a rock sitting at the top of a hill
What are differences between potiential energy kinetic energy and thermel energy?
*Thermal
Is the sum of potiential and kinetic energy in a system called total energy?
sure
What converts potiential energy to kinetic energy?
motion of particle in conservative field.
What is an example of potiential energy to kinetic energy?
Jumping off a tall cliff.
What is an example when potiential energy turns into kinetic energy?
Potential energy is mgh Kinetic energy is .5mv^2 1 ex is a huge rock The rock has potential energy but when it falls the PE turns to Kinetic energy As one decreases the other increases
What do you get when you combine kinetic with potiential energy?
That would be the total energy of an object. Energy is neither created or destroyed, just converted from one form to another.
What energy transformation occurs when gasoline is burn?
The mechanical energy from the engine (with help from electrical energy from the battery), turns the potiential energy of gasoline/petrol into kinetic energy.
Energy transformation when dropping a yoyo?
Potential - Kinetic - Potiential again as you drop the yo yo, the potential energy it had at its height is converted to kinetic energy. as it starts to come back up, it is converted back to potential energy
A pendulum is designed to transfer potiential gravitational energy into?
A pendulum transfers potential gravitational energy (at the top of its swing) to kinetic energy (movement at the bottom of the swing) and then back again (at the top on the other side).
What are some examples of potiential and kinetic energy?
a yo-yo, a car in motion, water falling from a water fall, walking or running, a bullet that has been fired.
Energy at rest is?
the energy due to position potiential energy
What gives cars there potiential energy?
gravity
