Mr. Thorton, the science teacher, was explaining the difference between kinetic and potential energy. He compared the difference to a wind-up toy. He said, "kinetic energy is like a wind-up toy that is let go and is moving but potential energy is when the wind-up toy is wound up but not released yet." What misconception may come from this analogy?
