Question

6. Distinguish between kinetic energy and potential energy with examples

Answer 1

Difference Between Kinetic and Potential Energy

1. Kinetic energy is the kind of energy present in a body due to the             property of its motion

Potential Energy is the type of energy present in a body due to the property   of its state

2. It can be easily transferred from one body to another

        It is not transferable

3. The determining factors for kinetic energy are Speed or velocity and        mass

       Here, the determining factors are Height/ distance and mass

4. Flowing water is one of the examples for kinetic energy

       Water present at the top of a hill is an example of potential energy

5. It is relative with respect to nature

       It is non-relative with respect to nature
