Differentiate between potential energy and kinetic energy.

Open in App

Solution

Potential Energy Kinetic Energy
1. Energy possessed by a body due to its height Energy possessed by a body due to its motion.
2. $P . E . = m g h$
$m = m a s s$
$g = a c c e l e r a t i o n d u e t o g r a v i t y$
$h = h e i g h t$ $K . E = 1 / 2 m v^{2}$
$m = m a s s$
$v = v e l o c i t y$
