Kinetic energy is the energy of motion that all moving objects possess. An object's kinetic energy depends on its mass and velocity, and can be calculated using the equation KE = 1/2mv^2. Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or state, such as a drawn bow or compressed spring, and depends on mass, gravity, and height. It can be calculated using the equation PE = mgh and represents an object's ability to do work based on its stored strain.
5. Kinetic energy is energy of motion:
All moving objects have kinetic energy.
Objects with kinetic energy can do work.
When you are bowling, and you throw
the ball down the lane, you are using
kinetic energy.
6. Kinetic Energy depends…..
• On VELOCITY and MASS!!!
• An objects kinetic energy can be determined by
the following equation:
REMEMBER!!! V is for SPEED!!!
