Question

Compare and differentiate potential energy and kinetic energy

Answer 1

POTENTIAL ENERGY depends only on gravitation , mass and the initial and final destination. While the KINETIC ENERGY depends on the mass and velocity of the body possessing it. so KE does not depend on gravitation and height of the body and PE does not depend on motion of the body.

Answer 2

See , following are the differences between potential and kinetic energy :

1. The energy possessed by a body due to its state of motion is called kintic energy while the energy possessed by a body due to its position is called potential energy.

2. In potential energy where ' m ' is the mass of a body , ' g ' is the gravity due to acceleration and ' h ' is the height of the body then the formula of PE = mgh whereas in kinetic energy it's ' m ' the mass of the body and ' v ' the velocity, therefore it's formula = 1 / 2 mv ^ 2

3. The factors resposible for potential energy are the ground level or the zero level you choose whereas the factors responsible for the kinetic energy are the mass and velocity of the body.
