DEFINE KINETIC ENERGY AND PATAINTIA ENERGY please​

1.Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its position or state. Kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another, in case of collisions. Potential energy cannot be transferred. Thus, the potential energy is stored in the object due to its position, whereas the kinetic energy is possessed by an object due to motion.

Eg: A ball kept on the edge of the table possesses potential energy due to its height, whereas a ball falling down from the table will possess kinetic energy due to its motion.

2.The formula for Kinetic energy is as below: This means that kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass as well as velocity. But it is proportional to 1 unit of mass and a square of velocity. Hence, velocity has a greater effect on kinetic energy.…show more content…

3.The equation for kinetic energy is: .

Let’s calculate the kinetic energy of a 40 kg object traveling 15 m/s.

Solution: mass= 40kg, velocity= 15 m/s, so putting these numbers into the kinetic energy equation,

Now, let’s calculate the kinetic energy of a 40 kg object traveling 30 m/s.

Solution: mass= 40kg, velocity= 30 m/s, so putting these numbers into the kinetic energy equation, Thus, when we double the velocity of an object, its kinetic energy increases by four times. Hence the velocity of an object has more impact on kinetic energy than the mass of an object.

it may be wrong but i think its a
