Question

explain the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic and Potential Energy Difference

The capacity to do work is called as Energy. ... When an object is at rest, the body is said to possess potential energy. In another case, when the object is in motion, then it is said to possess kinetic energy

Answer 2

Kinetic Energy Potential Energy

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

1 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

2 It is not transferable

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

3 Here, the determining factors are Height/ distance and mass

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

4Water present at the top of a hill is an example of potential energy

5. It is relative with respect to nature

5It is non-relative with respect to nature
