Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The difference between kinetic and potential energy needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The kinetic energy is the work needed to accelerate or to push an object from its rest position and give velocity to the object. The energy which is stored in an object due to its position or change in configuration is potential energy.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The difference between kinetic energy and potential energy is as follows:
Kinetic Energy | Potential Energy |
1. Kinetic energy is achieved when work is done on an object. | 1. Potential Energy is stored in an object. |
2. Kinetic energy can be transferred from one
to another | 2. Potential energy cannot be transferred. |
3. Factors affecting kinetic energy are Speed or velocity and mass. | 3. Factors affecting potential energy are height, distance and mass or configuration of the object. |
4. Flowing water is an example of kinetic energy. | 4. Water present in the waterfall at the top of a hill is an example of potential energy. |
5. Kinetic energy can be related to nature. | 5. Potential energy cannot be related to nature. |
