The 2 main types of ENERGY!By: Sarah Street

Energy- is the ability to do work.

There are 2 main types of energy:Kinetic and Potential. ● Kinetic energy-energy that it possesses due

to its motion. ● Potential energy- is energy stored in a

system of forcefully interacting physical entities.

Kinetic Energy- energy that it possesses due to its motion..

Kinetic energy depends on the: mass & speed.Mass- How heavy an object weighs.

Speed- How fast an object is.

Example: There are 2 cars, car1 weighs 1 ton and is going 30mph. Car2 weighs 1.5 ton and is going 29.1mph. If they were to hit each other which car would have more kinetic energy? Answer: Car2, Because the mph is almost 30 and it will be more effective.

● Potential Energy- is energy stored in a system of forcefully

interacting physical entities.

Potential energy depends on one thing:If the object is still or

if there is no effect to an object.

Example: There are 2 cars, car1 weighs 1 ton and is going 30mph. Car2 weighs 1.5 ton and is going 29.1mph. If they were to hit each other which car would have more potential energy? Answer: Car1, Because the other car will be effective to car1. Move to review answer
