Kinetic energy is the energy in the movement.
Potential energy is stored energy, ready to be used.
K.E-motion energy
P.E-energy stored during displacement of springs that tend to restore to original position of spring
Kinetic energy is the energy found in every object in motion .
Gravitational Potential Energy is the enegry stored in an object because of its height. For example, the energy that water has before it goes over a waterfall. Chemical potential energy is the energy that a substance can release by undergoing a chemical reaction, for example gasoline which releases energy when it is burned. Mechanical potential energy would be the kind stored in a compressed spring. Radioactive materials such as uranium have nuclear potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.. while something is moving.. and potential energy is the energy being stored up for the object TO move.
A ball rolling has kinetic energy... when you pull back a spoon to throw food at someone, when you pull back and hold it there, it has potential energy (potential to be kinetic, that is)
Potential energy is the capacity for doing work that a body possesses because of itsposition or condition. While kinetic energy is energy a body possesses because it is in motion.
kinetic energy is moving energy or energy used in preforming an action.
potiental energy is sitting energy or energy that is being saved up.
potential- when energy is stored.
kinetic- when energy is moving

The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
Upward motion on a roller coaster converts kinetic energy into potential energy. Downward motion converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Forward motion is a result of excess potential enegy converted into kinetic energy that cannot be expended while falling.
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.
Yes, there is a difference between potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy that an object has due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
whats the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy
Potential energy is energy stored in an object based on its position or configuration, while kinetic energy is energy possessed by an object in motion. The main similarity between potential and kinetic energy is that they are both forms of mechanical energy.
true
One example that illustrates the difference between potential and kinetic energy is a roller coaster. When the roller coaster is at the top of a hill, it has potential energy because of its height above the ground. As it goes down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. Another example is a stretched rubber band - when it is stretched, it has potential energy, and when it is released, it converts this potential energy into kinetic energy as it snaps back into its original shape.
Difference is that kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential is stored energy.
Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. They are related because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa. When an object is in motion, it has kinetic energy, but when it stops moving, that energy is converted into potential energy.
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The key difference is that potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work, while kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. In simpler terms, potential energy is like a coiled spring ready to release its energy, while kinetic energy is like a moving car in motion.
potential energy- is derived chemically from something kinetic energy-is derived from something by the motion the object has thermal energy-is derived by heat or cold
Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or state (e.g. gravitational potential energy). Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy and vice versa.
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that has the opportunity to become kinetic. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.examples of potential energy- a spring being squeezed; When you are at the top of the diving board getting ready to dive; winding up before you throw a pitch (in softball); etc.examples of kinetic energy- a person running; a car speeding; falling down the stairs; etc.
Kinetic energy is energy related to movement. The formula is (1/2) mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is energy of position. The formula for gravitional potential energy is mgh (mass times gravitation times height).
