Kinetic and Potential energy
This is Harleigh with info on kinetic and potential energy
What kind of energy is kinetic energy?
KINETIC ENERGY is energy in motion
kinetic energy
This man is running in a motion.That means he has kinetic energy now if he was standing it would be considered potential energy.
kinetic energy
This roller coaster is also in motion.So that means it has kinetic energy.Now if the roller coaster comes to a stop it will then have potential energy.
kinetic energy
This girl is on her bike her bike is in motion.That means it has kinetic energy.But what will happen if she pushes on the brakes then what energy will she have? It will be potential energy.
Potential energy
What else
POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy being stored
Potential energy
As you can see this man is showing a form of potential energy.How do we know? Well, he is storing energy into the blue string because he is pulling it down in a stretching position, and until he lets go it will fly.
Potential energy
Well, look there, now another form of potential energy.You see this man is sleeping so his body is storing energy.This energy will allow him to work through the day peacefully.
Potential energy
Now do you understand potential and kinetic energy. If not look at this picture this cartoon character is pulling back the rubber band on his sling shot this is potential energy because energy is being stored in the rubber band.
