Which of these objects has kinetic energy?
A ball moving through the air.
A ball sitting on a table.
A ball buried underground.
A ball sitting on the edge of a cliff.
What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy of objects at rest; kinetic energy is the energy of objects in motion.
Kinetic energy is the energy of objects at rest; potential energy is the energy of objects in motion.
Potential energy has to do with chemistry; kinetic energy has to do with physics.
Kinetic energy has to do with chemistry; potential energy has to do with physics.
