Potential Vs Kinetic Energy

The document contrasts potential and kinetic energy through examples of objects at rest versus in motion. Potential energy is stored energy an object has by virtue of its position or state, like a parked car or a balled held by a player. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, such as a moving car or bouncing ball. Pictures are provided for labeling as showing potential or kinetic energy.

POTENTIAL VERSUS KINETIC ENERGY

Take a look at the chart to see some examples of potential and kinetic energy.

POTENTIAL ENERGY KINETIC ENERGY


A car sitting in the driveway A car driving down the street
A ball in a basketball player’s hands A ball bouncing down the court
A sleeping child A child jumping on the bed
A log in a fireplace A burning log
A lamp A lamp turned on
