Factors Affecting Potential and Kenetic Energy

Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or arrangement, and depends on factors like height or distance and mass. Kinetic energy is the energy of moving objects and depends on speed or velocity and mass. Potential energy can transform into kinetic energy, such as when a raised hammer falls and hits a table, changing its stored potential energy into kinetic energy of motion. The main types of potential energy are elastic, gravitational, and chemical, while examples of things with kinetic energy include moving objects and electricity formed from electric charge flow.

FACTORS AFFECTING POTENTIAL

AND KENETIC ENERGY


• What Is Kinetic Energy and What Does It Mean?
Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of a body in
motion, which means it’s essentially the energy of
all moving objects. It is one of the two main forms
of energy, along with potential energy, which is the
stored energy contained within objects at rest.
Understanding kinetic energy is intuitively easier
than understanding potential energy because it’s
more obvious that moving things have energy.
• Potential energy isn’t transferrable and it depends
on the height or distance and mass of the object.
Kinetic energy can be transferred from one moving
object to another (vibration and rotation) and is
dependent on an object’s speed or velocity and
mass.
Imagine you have a hammer in your hand. When you
raise the hammer higher, it’ll have potential energy.
But as you drop the hammer downwards to bang on a
table’s surface, it’ll have kinetic energy.
• First, the raised hammer has more potential energy
since it has the potential to go higher or lower.
• Second, when you hit the hammer on the table, the
stored potential energy is converted to kinetic
energy as the hammer is falling.
• Third, as soon as the hammer hits the table, the
energy changes. The stationary hammer then has
stored energy in the form of potential energy.
What is factors affecting potential and
kinetic energy?

• Potential energy is the stored energy


in any object or system by virtue of its
position or arrangement of parts.
However, it isn’t affected by the
environment outside of the object or
system, such as air or height.
What Is the Relationship Between Potential
and Kinetic Energy?

• The primary relationship between the two is


their ability to transform into each other. In
other words, potential energy transforms into
kinetic energy, and kinetic energy converts
into potential energy, and then back again.
It’s a never-ending cycle.
What Are Examples of Potential Energy?

• There are three main types of potential


energy: elastic potential energy,
gravitational potential energy, and chemical
potential energy.[3]
What Is the Potential Energy of an
Electron?

Everything in the universe is made up of


atoms. These atoms are composed of
protons, neutrons, and electrons, which
give them the power to transfer kinetic
energy.
What Is Electrical Energy Potential or Kinetic?

• Electrical energy can be either potential or kinetic


energy since it’s created from an electric charge
flow
What Is Kinetic Energy and What Does It Mean?

• Kinetic energy is the energy of a body in motion,


which means it’s essentially the energy of all
moving objects. It is one of the two main forms of
energy, along with potential energy, which is the
stored energy contained within objects at rest.
