Question

What are the two states of energy?

Answer 1

The two states of energy are:

1. Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motion.
   $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Kinetic}\mathrm{energy}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mathrm{mass}\times {\mathrm{velocity}}^2 \\ {\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{K}}=\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{mv}}^2 \end{gathered}$$
2. Potential energy: Potential energy is defined as the energy stored in an object.
   $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Potential}\mathrm{energy}=\mathrm{mass}\times \mathrm{gravitational}\mathrm{acceleration}\times \mathrm{height} \\ {\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{P}}=\mathrm{mgh} \end{gathered}$$
