the difference between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy and what does each one represent
In: Physics
Potential energy is the amount of force stored within an object that can be released if it was in motion. Kinetic energy is the amount of force that same object will exert when it is actually in motion. As the object moves faster it’s potential energy will become less and its kinetic energy will become greater, making both types of energy inversely proportional. How much of this energy an object actually has is dependent on how massive it is and how fast it can go.
