Potential and kinetic energy
Potential and Kinetic objects
Potential energy
Potential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. here is a sample lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it has very little kinetic energy.
Potential energy
when bow is pulled back it turns into Potential energy because its turn into stored energy
Potential energy
when the boat is just about to fall its Potential energy because its stored energy
Potential energy
when the cart is just about to fall its Potential energy because it turns into stored energy witch is Potential energy
Kinetic energy
The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion/ it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. here is a sample as the train accelerates down the hill the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. There is very little potential energy at the bottom of the hill, but there is a great amount of kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy
when the ball falls its Kinetic energy because its in motion with is kinetic energy
Kinetic energy
while the boat sinks its Kinetic energy becuase it in motion so it is Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy
when the cart startsis in motion its kinetic energy when its not moving its stored energy
