Potential and Kinetic Energy

  • Energy has two different states

  • Kinetic Energy is energy is motion. The energy is currently being used to accomplish something.

  • Potential Energy is stored energy. The energy can be released and used - it just has not happened yet.

  • An object can have both potential and kinetic energy.
