Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, calculated as ½mv2. If m is the mass in kg and v the speed in metres/sec the answer will be in joules.
Potential energy is sitting there waiting to be turned into kinetic energy. Examples are a mass on a shelf, that will gain kinetic energy if it is dropped off, or energy in a pendulum at the top of its swing when it is stationary.
With a pendulum the energy is continually exchanged between potential and kinetic and the total energy (ignoring friction) stays the same (with a real pendulum the total energy runs down because of air resistance).

What is potintial?
Potential energy is energy that is stored within an object, and this energy may do work. Gravity is what gives the potential energy to any object, and is a result of gravity pulling down
Does the more fast molecules vibrate the heat they give off?
the more the moliculs are acktive the more kinitic energy is stored. that's what gives off heat.
Shock that a person gets when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpet is caused by?
static electricity (kinitic)
What are examples of what type of energy?
* thermal energy * chemical energy * nuclear energy * mechanical energy * magnetic energy * electrical energy * radiant energy * elastic energy * sound energy * luminous energy * gravitational energy
8 different types of energy?
here are some: -Linear Kinetic energy -Rotational Kinetic energy -Heat energy -Atomic energy -Electrical energy -Sound energy -Solar energy -Wind energy -Tidal energy -Wave energy -Hydro energy -Nuclear energy -Succesive ionization energy
Is chemical potintial energy the same as gravitational potintial energy?
No
When determine the temperature of a substance what property of its particles are being measured?
the answer is kinitic energy
Explain how a pole vaulter uses potential and kinetic energy to vault himself over the bar?
many people say that a vaulters run up is what is building there potintial energy which is sortof true but in reality however much the pole bends is the potintial energy of the vault
What is kinetic energy and potential energy combined?
I think that kinetic energy and potintial energy combined create mechanical energy. I may be wrong but this is what my fifth grade teacher taught me. :D

What gives something potintial energy?
Potential energy is the theory that an object has energy that can be released. Gravitational Potential Energy is an example of this. GPE is obtained as you gain height, the more height, the more GPE.
Definition of rotating equipment?
Rotating equipment is the general classification of mechanical equipment that is used to add Kinitic eneregy to a process. The addition of Kinetic energy may be needed to move material from one point to the next or to agitate the material.

static electricity (kinitic)
Is a dog sleeping an example of kinetic or potential energy?
Assuming this is a real question, and not just a joke, the answer is "potential", as there is no motion.
What is a good price on a corgi?
Corgis are good rare dogs.(Prices may very).if you want a regestired champion Bloodlines ,Champion Sired, Show potintial Corgi, prices are $350 dollars and up.
