neither. they separate because of magnetic fields. its not kinetic. its not potential. If you hold them together.. the "push" of them trying to get apart is storing some potential energy.. kind of like a spring. I guess you'd call it elastic potential energy because i dont know if there is such a thing as magnetic potential energy... hmm..

What is the potential and kinetic energy of a drought?
Potential energy is when a drought is beginning to form and Kinetic energy is when it is released by the potential energy, meaning it is releasing no water to the atmosphere.
How do gliders transformed potential energy into Kinetic energy?
Gilders transformed Potential energy into Kinetic energy by if a Motor doesn't work the gliders would have the machine you are in just slip from potential energy (the motor) into Kinetic energy (is the energy of motion).
Is geothermal potential or kinetic energy?
geothermal is kinetic energy
Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into?
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
Is earth running out of energy?
Energy doesnt run out, it is just transferred. For example, a ball in a high place is said to have potential kinetic energy, if it then falls that energy is transferred to kinetic and thermal energy. Upon rest, the ball again has potential kinetic energy.
Is electromagnetic kinetic or potential?
Electromagnetic energy is just a name used to describe various forms of energy that are related to electricity & magnetism. So electromagnetic energy might include the kinetic energy of moving charges, or the potential energy between charges or magnets or it might refer to the energy of radiation, which is neither kinetic or potential energy.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
What is one way to store a lot of potential energy in the magnetic field of the two interacting magnets?
You can store energy in a rubber band by stretching it, and this potential energy becomes kinetic energy when you let go
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
Is elastic energy potential or kinetic?
Electromagnetic energy is energy associated with charges, currents and magnets. It is fundamentally due to the potential and kinetic energies of charges and the radiation they may emitt. Mathematically, electromagnetic energy is frequently expressed in terms of the electric and magnetic fields that are due to charges and currents.
What are the two basic types of energy?
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
How potential energy is changed to kinetic energy?
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?
can be converted to potential energy.
How is potential energy change to kinetic energy?
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
