Question

Distinguish between kinectic energy and potential energy​

Answer 1

kinectic energy-in physics kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

• it is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its started velocity.having
• gained this energy during its acceleration
• The body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

potential energy-in physics potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects,its electric charge,or other factors

• in the case of a bow and arrow ,when archer does work on the bow drawing the string back
• some if the chemical energy of the archer's body is transformed into elastic potential energy in the bent limb of bow

Answer 2

Hey!

Well KINETIC ENERGY is...

the energy generated by the / of the object is that it possesses due to its motion...

POTENTIAL ENERGY is...

The energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, its electric charge, or other factors...

Step-by-step explanation:

So in easier terms, KINETIC ENERGY is just the ENERGY GENERATED BY THE OBJECT'S MOVEMENT and...

POTENTIAL ENERGY IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ENRGY THAT THE OBJECT HOLDS (due to an electric charge etc)

Hope this helps!
