No, Potential Energy is the energy of an object that has the potential to move while kinetic energy is the energy of an object at motion.
Potential energy is defined by Mass * Gravity(9.81ms-2) * height(In meters)
Kinetic energy is defined by (1/2)*Mass*Velocity2

Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
What is driven by kinetic energy of the molecules?
'kinetic energy of molecules' is heat; so your answer is any heat engine: for example, a steam locomotive.
After rolling halfway down an incline a marble's kinetic energy is?
The same as it's potential energy
What will be the kinetic energy of the ram of a pile driver when it suddenly undergoes a 10-kJ decrease in potential energy?
10-kj will be added to the Kinetic Energy. Remember the law of conservation of energy. E=PE+KE. and Efinal = Einitial.
How do you calculate the gain of Kinetic Energy?
You calculate the new kinetic energy, you calculate the old kinetic energy, then you subtract.
What caused of static?
Kinetic energy
Which friction slows down moving bodies kinetic or static?
Friction reduce the velocity, hence, it affect kinetic energy. The potential energy from static pressure is then drawn to maintain the velocity (transformation of potential -> kinetic energy). We then see the friction reduce the static pressure but actually, it affect kinetic first.
Is electrical energy a kinetic energy or potential energy?
Neither, it is chemical! Static and current electricity are examples of it.
The movement of objects and substances from place to place is what kind of energy?
Assume you are referring to kinetic energy, as opposed to potential energy, which is locationally static.
What kind of energy is usually transferred from one solid to another?
Kinetic energy, heat energy, static electric energy
Is thermal energy the same as kinetic energy?
No, thermal is a kind of kinetic energy.
Is Electrical energy a type of kinetic or potential energy?
Neither, it is chemical! Static and current electricity are examples of it.
What form of energy does a kite in the air have?
Potential energy, because of this a kite is not moving.
What will a car's kinetic energy be if the car's speed triples?
The Kinetic Energy Stays The Same
What is the definition of kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic energy is that energy possessed by a moving object, inherent in the fact it is moving. Potential energy is that energy in any object which remains static within the object, and is not being transformed or transferred at that time.
Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?
static usully greater then kinetic
What are the 5 basic kinds of energy?
1) potential energy 2) Kinetic energy 3) Static energy 4) Thermal energy 5) Geothermal energy
