Question

explain the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy

Answer 1

energy stored in an object due to its position is called potential energy. Energy stored in an object due to its motion is called kinetic energy

Answer 2

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

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

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

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

5. It is relative with respect to nature

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

2. It is not transferrable

3. the determining factors are Height/ distance and mass

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

5. It is non-relative with respect to nature
