Question

a. Explain the difference between
potential energy and kinetic energy.​

Answer 1

the energy possessed by a object at rest is called a potential energy.

The energy possessed by an object at motion is known as kinetic energy.

:)

Answer 2

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

• Kinetic energy is the kind of energy present in a body due to the property of its motion.
• It can be easily transferred from one body to another
• The determining factors for kinetic energy are Speed or velocity and mass
• Flowing water is one of the examples of kinetic energy
• It is relative with respect to nature

Potential Energy

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

• It is not transferable

• Here, the determining factors are Height/ distance and mass
• Water present at the top of a hill is an example of potential energy

• It is non-relative with respect to nature
