What is Potential Energy?

Potential Energy is stored in matter, waiting to be released.

What Are Examples?

An arrow being stretched by a bow before it is released

A rock at the top of a hill

Food for our bodies Fuel for our cars

BrainPoP!

What is Kinetic Energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion that is released from stored energy.

Examples

Arrow released from bow Object rolling down hill

Muscles moving A car moving

Examples

Potential Energy when

up ready to be released.

Kinetic Energy when it moves up in down by energy from

string

Examples

For the biker the bottom of the hill is a point of potential energy

Going up the hill energy is coming in which means the biker is going through kinetic energy.

Biker waiting on top of the hill to go down is potential energy.Going down the hill energy is going out which means the

biker is going through kinetic energy.For the biker the bottom of the hill is a point of potential

energy

What Are Other Energies?

The way to remember the other energies is to remember MRS. CENTMechanicalRadiant (light)SoundChemicalElectricalNuclearThermal (heat)

M- Mechanical Energy

Mechanical energy is energy generated through movement.

R- Radiant (light) Energy

Radiant energy is energy from electromagnetic waves.

Sound EnergySound energy is vibrations that moves

through a solid, liquid or gas to our ears.

Chemical EnergyChemical energy is energy released

from a chemical reaction.

Electrical EnergyElectrical energy is energy through

electricity.

Nuclear EnergyNuclear energy is energy released

during a nuclear reaction generally through fusion or fission.

Thermal (Heat) Energy

Energy that changes the temperature of an object.
