Chapter 6, Problem 6.25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between kinetic energy and potential energy needs to be explained with an example for each.

Concept Introduction:

The two types of energies are:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Potential energy is defined as the amount of energy stored in a system due to its position. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to its motion.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 6.25P

Potential energy − Stored energy

Kinetic energy − Energy of motion

Explanation of Solution

Energy is required to do the work. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The total energy of the universe is constant. Energy can be converted into different forms of energy such as potential energy and kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. This can be observed while an object is moving from one place to another. A Ball falls down the hill has kinetic energy.

Potential energy is the stored energy, it issimply the energy which is caused by the position of an object. A ball on the top of a hill has stored energy as potential energy.

Conclusion

Thus, potential energy − Stored energy

Kinetic energy − Energy of motion
