Potential & Kinetic Energy
How Potential & Kinetic Energy works
Potential & Kinetic facts!!! :)
Potential energy is used to describe "unused" energy that has the ability to accomplish work but currently isn't. A good example of potential energy is an object that has the ability to do work because of its position in the gravitational field.
Potential Energy
When the bow is pulled back it has potential energy. Energy is stored in the string and has potential to launch the arrow forward when you let it go.
Potential Energy
Picture yourself in the railroad car on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Ride. Soon you are at the top of the hill. At that exact moment the train has a lot of potential energy because gravity will soon get to work.
Potential energy
A slingshot is advice used to hurl an object. When you pull back on the material, potential energy is stored. When you let go, the potential energy is turned into the energy of motion.
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it possesses because of its motion.
Kinetic Energy
When you kick a ball it has kinetic energy. It's kinetic energy because you have to physically stop the ball or it's just going to keep moving.
Kinetic Energy
A ball being dropped is kinetic energy. It is kinetic energy because its in the energy of movement.
Kinetic Energy
A bike has kinetic energy going up a hill. When it gets to the top it turns into potential energy then when it goes back down the hill it turns into kinetic energy again.
