potential energy is energy that has not yet been produced, for example a bullet has a certain amount of potential energy, meaning that if you put it in a gun and shoot it, the bullet flying out of the gun has the potential to produce a given amount of Kinetic energy, or imagine a ball on the top of a hill, the ball has potential energy, meaning if you give it a slight push it will start to roll downhill thus producing Kinetic energy.\nso "energy potential" is how much energy it could develop if you shoot the bullet out of the gun.\n"kinetic energy" is how much energy the flying bullet has, to do damage.

Potential Energy = stationary boulder on top of a building\nKinetic Energy = once the boulder is dropped and has speed

Thermal energy is the kinetic energy and potential energy of the molecules. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy per molecule.\n\nThe term "Heat" as uesd in this answer will refer to the change in the thermal energy of an object; thus the expressions "heat transferred" or "heat absorbed". A device used to measure temperature is called a thermometer.

d)\notherwise some of work transforms to heat which is potential energy not kinetic.\nfor example when you kick the wall, acting forces are not elastic and do not rise kinetic energy of your feet or wall.

kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in virtue of its motion\npotential energy is for example the energy of water \nat the top of a waterfall before it is\nconverted to kinetic energy after it goes\nover the edge of the waterfall\ngravitational energy is the potential \nenergy possessed by a body\nby virtue of its height above sea level \nan example of this is the space shuttle \nusing the frictional resistance of the \natmosphere to convert the gravitational\nand kinetic energy into heat in order to land\n\ni hope that this helps

Kinetic Energy (KE) is calculated as,\nKE = 1/2 m*v^2\nwhere m is the object's mass, and v is the object's velocity.\n\nIt is assumed that the velocity (and thus KE) is calculated with respect to one's own reference frame as there are no absolute velocities in the universe.\nThus, a moving object does contain KE.\n\nThere are many types of Potential Energy.  There is gravitational PE, Electrical PE, Chemical PE, Elastic PE, ....\nSo it is very likely for an object to posses at least one type of PE, but at the same time, it is not required (at least in theory).\nPotential Energy is measured with respect to some kind of "Ground" or base on which the object has Potential over...if the object theoretically were the base, it would have zero potential.\nI would not go so far to make the statement that every stationary object has Potential Energy, but if you looked hard enough and considered various types of PE, you might be able to find something in most cases.

Since kinetic energy is proportional to the square of linear momentum, a 300% increase in kinetic energy(which meanse that kinetic enrgy becomes 4 times its initial value),results in doubling of momentum.This meanse that momentum increases by 100%.

if you go from A to be and then B to A you should have no overall energy change. one will be an exothermic reacion and the other should be endothermic reaction

kinetic energy is: the energy of a moving object. the formula for this is 1/2*mass*velocity^2 in symbols 1/2*m*v^2\nFormul description: the work needed to accelerate a body from rest to its current velocity\n\nLight enegry: I've never heard of light energy before now if ur talking about the brightestness of the bulb than that is called luminosity a buy product of lighting sources is also heat energy, transfer of light is also done by photons you could say these carry the light energy.\n\nPotential energy: is energy which depends on mutual positions of bodies. The energy is defined as a work against a specific force such as gravity, an elastic force of a spring in a clockwork motor, electric force, etc (and is usually named after that specific force).\n\nchemical energy: Is a form of potential energy due to the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.\n\nGravitational potential energy:  the potential energy per unit mass of an object due to its position in a gravitational field.\n\nHope this helps

A. height and weight. Potential energy is the energy contained in an object due to its position in a force field (such as a gravitational field), and has nothing to do with speed (which would be kinetic energy). Thus you can eliminate options C and D. Further, energy is defined as the ability to do work, and work is simply force*distance. Since the weight of an object would be applied over a greater distance if the object fell from higher up than if it fell from a lower distance, height does influence potential energy, which means the only remaining option is A.\n\nBTW, about B - it might seem that potential energy also depends on mass since that will affect the weight of the object, but if you changed the mass of an object without changing its weight (by varying the gravity in inverse proportion to the mass), the potential energy would not change. Conversely, there's no way to change either the object's height or weight while holding the other constant without changing its potential energy, which is why A is right and B is wrong.

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of its position.\nAny object which is far away from the center ofpossessingf nothing prevents it will move towards the center of earth. A spring wound fully  or partially. If left alone and it will rewind to its normal position.A  vessel containing gas under high pressure.If there is a vent the pressure will drop to normal.A string under tension. All thesrelievedamples of potential energy. These energies will be releived from the object when  there is proper way. \n\nKinetic energy is the energy by virtue of its motion. Any object moving in other words having velocity is possesing kinetic energy.If the velocity is reduced by some external agency the latter gets energy and viceversa.

Kinetic Energy = mass x velocity^2 divided by 2\n\nKE = 12 x 12^2 / 2

When a basketball bounces there is a continuous conversion between Kinetic and Potential energies. \nAt maximum height of the bounce, Potential Energy (P.E.) is maximum and Kinetic Energy(K.E) is minimum or zero.At the floor level, K.E is maximum and P.E is minimum or zero. What is really relevant here is that the Total Energy of the system, E, which is the sum of K.E and P.E remains constant

As far as I know, when a ball is THROWN then it is moving, and therefore it has KINETIC ENERGY - due to the motion. Potential energy is the energy objects possess because of their position. Hence, the objects that are on highest ground level have the most potential energy. If the rule of potential energy applies to your case with the throwing of the ball, then the potential energy will be the highest on the tip of the parabola.

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion and potential energy is energy due to position in a force field.  The formula for translational kinetic energy is KE = 0.5*m*v^2, where m is mass and v is velocity.  The most common type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, and near the surface of the Earth (or some other planetary body) the formula is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the surface.  Another common one is elastic potential energy in a compressed spring.  In that case the formula is PE = 0.5*k*x^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the compression.  An object can also have electrical potential energy, if it has an electrical charge and is positioned some distance from another charge.

Mechanical energy basically consists of potential and kinetic energy.  Potential energy is "captured" energy that is ready to be released.  Kinetic energy is energy a body possesses as a result of its motion.\n\nEveryday objects are made of atoms and molecules.  Atoms have electrical charges.  Electrical charges repel or attract each other.  It has been theorized that because of this, when objects interact with each other, they transfer mechanical energy and react to one another due to the electrical attraction or repulsion.  \n\nRead the wikipedia entry on mechanical energy.  It really is quite interesting.\n\nHave fun!
