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.

What is another name for kinetic energy?
Another name for heat energy is Thermal energy.
The energy source in photosynthesis is?
the enrgy source in photosynthesis is?
How does chloroplast prepare food for the cells?
It is about photosynthesis. They prepare carbohydrates by CO2 and H2O.
Total amount of energy an object has?
E=mc 2 E-energy m-mass c-speed of light squared it means that mass is a type of enrgy and it explains the very large amount of it in a unit of mass as it is multiplied by the speed of light
Which substances are released during respiration?
during cellular respiration organisims take in oxygen from their surroundings and combinet with sugar and other carbon containing substances to release enrgy tored in them. during cellular respiration organisims give off carbon dioxide gas in to there surroundings, during this prosess water is given of into the surroundings to!
What is kinetic enrgy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
when a dog sleeping which energy potential enrgy or kinetic?
potential energy is the energy created due to stress on an object, Kinetic energy is the energy an object possess due to its motion, so a dog sleeping has neither of both.
what is a light enrgy?
A kind of kinetic ??? if that makes sense
What is another word for chemical energy?
kinetic enrgy
Is soalr kintic or ponteial energy?
is soalr kinetic or pontieal enrgy
What is potential enrgy?
Energy which is gained by a body due to its position is known as potential energy
What is an example of potential enrgy?
Examples of potential energy : 1. An object raised above the ground acquires potential energy equal to the work done against the force of gravity; the energy is released as kinetic energy when it falls back to the ground. 2. Similarly, a stretched spring has stored potential energy that is released when the spring is returned to its unstretched state.
What two factors affect kinetic enrgy?
We generally think of kinetic energy as the energy of motion. And the two things that matter most as regards the energy of a moving object are its mass and its velocity.
What is kineticpotential energy?
Kinetic and Potential energy are totally different. An object has potential energy because it has the potential to change the states of objects in the system when the energy is released. Kind of vague, but examples will help. An object on the top of a mountain has potential energy that could be used if the object falls off the mountain. As it falls it acquires velocity, which is kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object is the extra energy which it possesses due to its motion. Objects can change their energy between these two types of energy. An example is a glider at 20000 feet. It has potential energy due to its height. It also has kinetic energy due to its forward speed. if the glider dives, it acquires more speed, ie, more kinetic energy while losing potential energy. In other words, potential energy is changed to kinetic energy. As it gets close to the ground, it uses its forward speed to zoom back to a higher altitude. Here kinetic energy is converted back to potential energy. Another example is Hoover dam. Water is stored at a high level. To generate electric power the water enters a pipe that routes the water down to the generators at the bottom of the dam. Potential energy of the water (from its height above ground) is changed to kinetic energy as it flows down the pipe and speeds up. When it hits the water turbine it is moving quite fast (lots of kinetic energy). The water hits the blades of the turbine and makes the blades spin, transferring the kinetic energy of the water to angular kinetic energy of the turbine. This is directly coupled to an electric generator which converts the angular kinetic energy to electrical enrgy.
What do electrons in an atom carry?
Electrons carry kinetic as well as potential energy.
What does kinetic enrgy depend on?
KE = 1/2*m*v^2 On mass (m, in kg) and on velocity squared (v, in m/s)
What is the importance of work-energy theorem?
it is a modified version of one of the newtons equation , newton equation cannot define the relation between work and enrgy thats why we generate the relation for work enrgy theorem
