what do you mean by energy ? explain kinetic and potential energy with examples
Answers
Explanation:
Energy is the capacity of a physical system to do work. The common symbol for energy is the uppercase letter E. The standard unit is the joule, symbolized by J.
Potential energy changes to kinetic energy when the object moves. Examples include holding a stretched spring (potential energy) and then releasing it (kinetic energy) or holding a box above the ground (potential energy) and then dropping it (kinetic energy). Kinetic energy is a form of energy that results from an object's motion.
Answer:
However, energy can be altered from one form to another. All forms of energy are either potential or kinetic energy. Potential refers to stored energy while kinetic is energy in motion. All energy, whether potential or kinetic, is measured in Joules (J).
energy - the ability to do work is known as energy
