Potential and kinetic energies work together within a system to affect its overall behavior. Potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. As potential energy is released and converted into kinetic energy, the system's behavior changes as it moves and interacts with its surroundings. This collaboration between potential and kinetic energies helps determine how the system behaves and changes over time.
The kinetic and potential energies of an object both always depend on the object's mass.
The sum of kinetic energies of molecules is the thermal energy, while the sum of potential energies is the internal energy. When considering thermal energy and internal energy together, we get the total energy or enthalpy of the substance.
They all have the same gravitational potential energies.
When the kinetic and potential energies of an object in simple harmonic motion (SHM) are equal, the object is at the amplitude of its motion. At this point, all of the energy is in the form of kinetic energy, and the displacement is equal to the amplitude of the oscillation.
In simple harmonic motion (SHM), the displacement is maximum when the kinetic and potential energies are equal. This occurs at the equilibrium position, where the object momentarily stops before changing direction. At this point, the total mechanical energy of the system is entirely in the form of potential energy.

For any object, the summation of its potential and kinetic energies is constant.
They all have the same gravitational potential energies.
In **simple harmonic motion (SHM)**, the **kinetic energy (KE)** and **potential energy (PE)** of the system vary with time, but their **sum is constant** (the total mechanical energy). We are asked to find the **displacement** of the object when: > **Kinetic energy = Potential energy** **Key Idea:** In SHM, the expressions for energies are: **Total energy, ( E = \frac{1}{2}kA^2 )** **Kinetic energy, ( KE = \frac{1}{2}k(A^2 - x^2) )** **Potential energy, ( PE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 )** Where: ( k ) = spring constant, ( A ) = amplitude, ( x ) = displacement from equilibrium. **Step-by-step:** Set ( KE = PE ): [ \frac{1}{2}k(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 ] Cancel out ( \frac{1}{2}k ): [ A^2 - x^2 = x^2 ] [ A^2 = 2x^2 ] [ x^2 = \frac{A^2}{2} ] [ x = \pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}A ] ✅ **Final Answer:** > The displacement is: > [ > x = \pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}} = \pm 0.707A > ] At this displacement, the kinetic and potential energies are **equal**.

true
nopes for our cars need kinetic energy
Mechanical Energy :)
No. The potential energy of an obect also depends on its mass.
When the kinetic and potential energies of an object in simple harmonic motion (SHM) are equal, the object is at the amplitude of its motion. At this point, all of the energy is in the form of kinetic energy, and the displacement is equal to the amplitude of the oscillation.
