Kinetic and Potential Energy

What is energy?

• Something that takes up space.

• The ability to make something move or change.

• Anything that has mass.

What is potential energy?

• The energy an object has due to its position or condition.

• The energy an object has due to its chemical composition.

• The energy an object has due to its atomic structure.

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy an object has due to its motion.

• The energy an object has due its chemical composition.

• The energy an object has due to its atomic structure.

When does an object have NO kinetic energy?

• When it's at rest.

• When it's moving very slowly.

• When it has no electrical charge.
