Potential energy

Definition: the store she energy from an object this could include rubber bands.
Examples: The energy stored as fat in the body
A flute before someone plays it

A teapot before the water boils

How is potential energy unique?

Potential energy is uniquely defined

 Kinetic energy

Definition: the energy that deals with motion a good example is a person running.

Examples: Running fan

Water from the tap
Children running around in the house

How is potential kinetic energy unique?

Potential kinetic energy is unique because it depends on where the object is. How high it is from
the ground.
 Speed

Definition: a rate that someone or something is able to move or operate.

Examples: When you drive your car from home to work at a constant speed of
30Km/Hr
Sunlight takes 8minutes 20seconds to reach Earth. This is
,because it travels at the speed of 2.99792*10^8 m/s.
You jog everyday, early morning at the average speed of
6km/Hr.
Illustrations:
How is Speed unique?
Speed is how far you can
go in the certain amount
of time, it tells us how fast
something is moving.
Relationship between potential and kinetic energy?

-The total of potential and kinetic energy is always the same. It is called mechanical energy.

Relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

-The kinetic energy is related to speed. If something is moving with more speed, the kinetic
energy will increase.

Potential energy has units: Joule ( kg.m2/s2 )

Kinetic energy has units: Joule ( kg.m2/s2 )

Speed has units meters/seconds
