Question

define the terms kinetic energy and,potential energy. Give an example​

Answer 1

Answer:Potential energy is the energy associated with position, like a ball held up in the air. ... When you let go of that ball and let it fall, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, or the energy associated with motion.

Explanation:

Answer 2

kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. The energy that a ball has when perched at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy.
